Bleeding, Blood Loss, Surgical, Cardiovascular Surgical Procedures, Fresh Frozen Plasma, Prothrombin Complex Concentrates
Conditions
Brief summary
This will be the first prospective randomized controlled clinical trial directly comparing Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (PCC) Compared to Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) for post cardiopulmonary bypass microvascular bleeding and factor-mediated coagulopathy. Is there a difference in bleeding and transfusion requirements in patients received PCC versus FFP?

| Fresh Frozen Plasma After cardiopulmonary bypass, patients received protamine at dose 0.01 mg/unit of heparin given with target activated clotting time (ACT) within 10% of baseline value. After protamine administration the ACT, complete blood count (CBC), prothrombin time (PT)/ international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and fibrinogen, were collected via preexisting arterial access. If ACT \>10% baseline additional protamine was given at the anesthesiologists discretion. Evaluation and determination of excessive microvascular bleeding in the surgical field occurred 10 minutes after return of ACT to within 10% of baseline. Patients with clinical evidence of excessive microvascular bleeding in the surgical field as determined by the surgical team, along with a PT \>16.6 sec/ INR \>1.6 sec received fresh frozen plasma as this is standard therapy per our institutional algorithm at a dose of 10-15 mL/kg rounded up to the nearest unit.
