Fibrinogen Concentrates Versus Cryoprecipitate in Liver Transplant Surgery

We compared the time consumed for goal-directed management of hypofibrinogemia using two strategies during liver transplant (LT) surgery: a conventional cryoprecipitate-based strategy versus a lyophilized fibrinogen concentrate-based strategy

The primary outcome is an inter-group comparison of treatment time (T-time, the duration from ordering cryoprecipitate or FC to completing its administration). The secondary measures include comparisons of perioperative bleeding, blood transfusion, coagulation profiles, reoperation, thromboembolic complications, mortality, oxygenation profiles, fibrinolysis phenotypes, and costs for bleeding management and length of hospital stay.
