In patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD), the need for prior antibiotic prophylaxis for infective endocarditis is well known to dentists, but not many dentists are aware of the associated haemorrhagic tendencies in such patients. Haemostatic abnormalities associated with CCHD are an important aspect that is often overlooked by both physicians and dentists. We briefly review the literature to highlight the importance of more elaborate haematological evaluation in patients with CCHD, prior to any oral surgical procedures.
对于患有紫绀型先天性心脏病(CCHD)的患者,牙科医生都清楚需要对其进行预防性抗生素治疗以预防感染性心内膜炎,但并非许多牙科医生都了解这类患者存在的出血倾向。与CCHD相关的止血异常是医生和牙科医生常常忽略的一个重要方面。我们简要回顾文献,以强调在对患有CCHD的患者进行任何口腔外科手术之前,进行更详细血液学评估的重要性。
