Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
1. If considered appropriate clinically and with laboratory (FIBTEM A10 result), 10 units of cryoprecipitate (350-400ml /10 units) are transfused 5-10 minutes after protamine administration at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) weaning.
2. 10 units of cryoprecipitates are given over 20-30 minutes.
3. 10 minutes after completion of cryoprecipitate transfusion, the following test are done.
- platelet count, PT, INR, aPTT, fibrinogen
- ROTEM parameters : coagulation time (CT), alpha angle, clot amplitude A10 (amplitude at 10 minutes after clotting initiation) in extrinsically-activated EXTEM and fibrin-based FIBTEM

Summary
Brief summary
Cryoprecipitate may be used as haemostatic agent in patients with bleeding following on-pump aortic surgery with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA). Its effect on plasma fibrinogen concentration and fibrin clot quality has not been reported to date. Standard coagulation laboratory and ROTEM parameters including clotting time (CT), alpha angle (a), clot amplitude A10 (amplitude at 10 minutes after clotting initiation) in extrinsically-activated EXTEM and fibrin-based FIBTEM were evaluated before and after cryoprecipitate transfusion.
