Fibrinogen Concentrate Safely Replaces Cryoprecipitate in Neonatal Cardiac Surgery
Anesthesia and Analgesia shared an insightful post on LinkedIn:
“When compared to cryoprecipitate, can fibrinogen concentrate adequately restore hemostasis and reduce postoperative thrombosis risk in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)?
Patients who received fibrinogen concentrate CPB had similar ex vivo clot degradation rates throughout the immediate perioperative period with greater degradation at 24 hours postoperatively and received less post-CPB blood products with no increased risk of bleeding or thrombotic complications when compared to patients who received cryoprecipitate.
Given the increased risks associated with allogenic blood transfusions, our results suggest that fibrinogen concentrate may be a suitable alternative to achieve perioperative hemostasis in neonates undergoing cardiac surgery without increased risk of thrombotic or bleeding complications.”
