Abstract

Introduction: The management of hemostasis disorders in critically ill patients with malignant hemopathy constitutes a challenge for intensive care physicians due to the high mortality rate to which they are associated. The increase in the number of patients with these diseases who are admitted to intensive care units makes it necessary to study and understand these disorders in order to achieve greater survival in these patients.
General aspects related to the coagulation mechanism; its diagnostic criteria are described; as well as the evolution of the patient with bleeding in the intensive care unit.


Objective: To review the general aspects of bleeding disorders in seriously ill patients with malignant blood diseases.


Methods: A bibliographical-documentary research on the subject was carried out. The SciELO and Pubmed databases of the last ten years were consulted.


Conclusions: Knowledge of bleeding disorders in patients with malignant blood diseases allows adequate monitoring and the creation of individual strategies to improve the survival of these patients in the intensive care unit.
