5 Fibrin formation is more impaired than thrombin generation and platelets immediately following cardiac surgery Solomon C et al. Thromb Res 2011; 128: 277 Franziskus Hospital gem. GmbH Medizinische Hochschule Hannover

6 Clotting time [sec] Effect of thrombin dose on clotting time % effect Jaques J Physiol 1941 Thrombin [units} Franziskus Hospital gem. GmbH Medizinische Hochschule Hannover

7 Effect of fibrinogen level on clot firmness 20% effect Franziskus Bolliger Hospital D et Hannover al. Br Medical J Anaesth School 2009; 102: 793-9

8 What is the target? Increases in fibrinogen increase plasma clot strength linearly up to 300 mg/dl Plasma clot strength is equal to whole blood at 625 mg/dl Franziskus Nielsen Hospital VG Hannover & Levy Medical JH. School Anesth Analg 2007; 105: 902-3

10 Study design RCT Study sponsored by CSL Behring Monocentric, 61 patients Elective TAAA, ascending aorta, aortic arch Double-blinded/placebo controlled Strict coagulation treatment algorithm, with the trigger of peri-operative bleeding Individually dosed high level fibrinogen

11 Methods

12 Target plasma level of fibrinogen 3.6 g/l 22 mm FIBTEM Fibrinogen (g/l) Despotis 2000 ASA Task Force 2006 Spahn 2007 Weinkove 2008 Fenger- Eriksen 2008 Rahe-Meyer 2009

13 ROTEM FIBTEM-guided administration of fibrinogen concentrate mm After CPB Before therapy mm 20 (MCF=8 mm) 20 (MCF=22 mm) min min CPB, cardiopulmonary FNG, bypass; fibrinogen MCF, concentrate; maximum clot MCF, firmness maximum clot firmness

14 ROTEM FIBTEM-guided administration of fibrinogen concentrate mm After CPB Before therapy mm After 7g fibrinogen concentrate 20 (MCF=8 mm) 20 (MCF=22 mm) min min 7 g 22 mm 8 mm Fibrinogen = (target FIBTEM MCF [mm]) x (bodyweight [kg]/70) dose [g] 2 CPB, cardiopulmonary FNG, bypass; fibrinogen MCF, concentrate; maximum clot MCF, firmness maximum clot firmness

15 Thoraco-abdominal aorta

16 Standardized treatment trigger 5 min bleeding mass 1. After weaning from CPB 2. After heparin reversal (protamine) 3. After surgical haemostasis

17 Intra-operative bleeding after protamin and surgical haemostasis

18 Standardized treatment trigger 5 min bleeding mass

19 Algorithm Removal from CPB, Protamine, Surgical haemostasis No treatment No Bleeding g No treatment Yes Treat as randomised Fibrinogen No Bleeding g Yes Placebo Standardised treatment regimen CPB, cardiopulmonary bypass

20 Algorithm No treatment No >60g Yes 5 minutes or 5 minutes >60g Yes 5 minutes or 5 minutes >60g Yes 5 minutes No treatment No Yes >60g/5min >300g/h

33 Conclusions ESA guidelines: Management of severe perioperative bleeding (publication anticitpated end of 2012) Fibrinogen concentrate infusion guided by point-of-care viscoelastic coagulation monitoring may be used to reduce perioperative blood loss in complex cardiovascular surgery (level of evidence 1+; grade of recommendation B).
