    AbstractA variety of measures may affect bleeding and transfusion requirements in abciximab-treated patients. These measures include recognition of the risk factors for increased bleeding and transfusion requirements, use of proper transfusion practices, conservation or increasing of red cell mass, appropriate heparin dosing and protamine reversal, reversal of anticoagulation, awareness of factors that affect activated clotting time (ACT), and appropriate anticoagulation for cardiopulmonary bypass.
