Continuous infusion therapy for surgery patients
PrintSurgery can make many patients feel anxious. This is especially true for patients with bleeding disorders.
If you require surgery, your hematologist or other healthcare provider might recommend continuous infusion therapy (the administration of factor over an extended period of time) to facilitate your recovery.
Continuous infusion helps patients avoid breakthrough bleeding and postoperative pain. What's more, it can also help reduce factor use by between 20 and 50 percent compared with traditional bolus dosing.1
