This subcommittee is focused on the perioperative management of anticoagulation, coagulopathy, and bleeding in patients who require surgery, procedural interventions, or in a critical care setting, and hemostatic management of critically ill patients requiring mechanical cardiopulmonary support.

Mandate
- To promote research and knowledge regarding assessment and management of patients with inherited or acquired impairment of hemostasis in a perioperative and critical care setting.
- To promote research and clinical applications of hemostatic management of critically ill patients requiring mechanical cardiopulmonary support including ventricular assist devices and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
- To provide a vehicle for collaborative, multidisciplinary research in this field bringing together hematologists, cardiologists, internists, surgeons, intensivists, and anesthesiologists with interest in thrombosis and bleeding in the perioperative period, including the management of antithrombotics and hemostatic factors.

Our objective for the upcoming period is to continue our work focused on the perioperative management of anticoagulation, coagulopathy, and bleeding in patients who require surgery, procedural interventions, or in a critical care setting, and hemostatic management of critically ill patients requiring mechanical cardiopulmonary support. The intention is for our results to inform practice in these areas for our ISTH and global colleagues.
We will further strengthen ties with other SSC to collaborate on a variety of projects that are synergistic and combine the expertise of both committees to address a common problem. We are currently collaborating with the FXI and Contact System subcommittee. We will encourage our early career members to be involved with our SSC projects. We currently have 2 early career cochairmen. In addition, we want to expand our membership to include more Reach the World ISTH members and identify a reach the World Co-chair.
The main plans to achieve these goals are:
• PAUSE-2 pilot now funded by Canadian Grant
• Treatment of patients with acute HIT requiring cardiopulmonary bypass
• Develop registry of plasma exchange treatment of patients with HIT prior to cardiopulmonary bypass
