Abstrakt: Anesthesia for cardiac surgical patients with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APLS) presents challenges with monitoring anticoagulation during cardiopulmonary bypass. Additionally, this condition is associated with other autoimmune diseases and comorbidities that need to be considered in caring for these patients, and there is minimal evidence for specific strategies during cardiac surgery. Separately, Jehovah's Witness (JW) patients typically do not consent to receiving blood products, presenting an additional challenge for resuscitation during cardiac surgery and especially in the context of APLS. We present our approach to the anesthetic management of a JW patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complicated by APLS, thrombocytopenia, and renal failure with history of renal transplant who presented for coronary artery bypass surgery. Management strategies we recommend include administration of antifibrinolytics after heparinization to mitigate bleeding risk and interdisciplinary management with the perfusion, intensive care, surgical, and nephrology teams.
