Perioperative Hämostase und Hämodynamik

The scientific focus is on clinical research in hemostasis and hemodynamics with the aim of improving patient safety and quality of care during surgical and interventional procedures. Our work focuses on the acquisition, interpretation, and clinical application of hemodynamic and hemostatic parameters, as well as their integration into perioperative therapeutic decision-making.

A major research emphasis is the evaluation of blood products and transfusion strategies as well as the analysis of coagulation disorders in perioperative medicine. In particular, we investigate the use of viscoelastic testing methods for a differentiated assessment of hemostasis and for goal-directed transfusion therapy. Our objective is to reduce transfusion-related complications and to enable individualized, evidence-based management of bleeding and coagulation abnormalities.

In addition, we study non-invasive and invasive techniques for hemodynamic monitoring during cardiological and cardiac surgical interventions as well as in general perioperative care. Through close interdisciplinary collaboration with the Department of Cardiac Surgery, we evaluate novel monitoring approaches with respect to their clinical validity, safety, and impact on perioperative decision-making.

Overall, our research follows a translational, clinically driven approach and seeks to establish personalized concepts for perioperative hemodynamics, coagulation monitoring and patient blood management in routine clinical practice.
