Due to plasmas low fibrinogen content of 500600 mg per 250 mL, plasma fibrinogen concentration is likely to remain low, while awaiting cryoprecipitate.31, With any allogeneic transfusion, including cryoprecipitate, there is a risk of alloimmunization and allergic transfusion reaction.32 Fibrinogen concentrate undergoes viral inactivation processing, which also removes blood and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies and antigens and significantly reduces the risk of immunological transfusion reaction.12 Transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO), transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), and allergic transfusion reactions remain significant risks of allogeneic blood transfusion and are associated with increased health care cost, morbidity, and mortality.33,34.

[1] Some versions also contain factor VII. Instead, cryoprecipitate is used to treat acquired hypofibrinogenemia in cardiac surgery, multitrauma, obstetrical hemorrhage, and other critical care settings.12 Until recently, cryoprecipitate was the only effective treatment for acquired hypofibrinogenemia in cardiac surgical patients. The proportion of patients assigned to either cryoprecipitate or fibrinogen concentrate as part of the original FIBRES study arm was not different (P = 0.14).

In vitro and observational studies have demonstrated the importance of fibrinogen replacement for adequate hemostasis, yet randomized controlled trials of fibrinogen treatment compared to placebo have not shown a mortality benefit.19 Cushing and Haas20 examined these clinical trials and determined that fibrinogens inconsistent efficacy may be related to design flaws in the trials themselves, including variable definitions for hypofibrinogenemia, inclusion of patients with insignificant bleeding, and off-protocol interventions. 196 0 obj <>stream Suggested treatment for active bleeding or invasive procedure prophylaxis has been described in the setting of end-stage liver disease (ESLD) in patients not receiving anticoagulation, and has included fresh frozen plasma (FFP), prothrombin complex concentrates (PCC), platelets, and cryoprecipitate.

A major criticism of these studies is that patients received fibrinogen concentrate without demonstrating low fibrinogen concentration, and in 1 trial, without clinically significant bleeding, because fibrinogen concentrate was given before surgery.

Transfusion of platelets and/or cryoprecipitate is permitted if abnormal laboratory values are observed during the rewarming phase of CPB; platelet count <100 x 103/l, and fibrinogen <200 mg/dl, respectively.

In cases with long CPB duration, particularly in complex congenital heart surgery, acquired von Willebrand syndrome (VWS) is common, and cryoprecipitate may be a superior option for replacing both fibrinogen and large VWF multimers.51 Finally, patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and patients with ventricular assist devices (VADs) are well known to have acquired VWS and may benefit from the treatment with cryoprecipitate compared to fibrinogen concentrate.5254.
