The Role of Cold Agglutinins Screening in Cardiac Surgery: Necessity or Redundancy?
We found that CAs were considerably high in patients undergoing cardiac surgery in the Turkish population. CA is important for cardiac surgery where hypothermia is used, and we believe that this pathology should be routinely screened in the preoperative period. Due to these rates that cannot be ignored, the clinical awareness of the heart team about CHD should be increased.
