Cardiac surgery involving cardio pulmonary bypass (CPB) may be associated with development of a coagulopathy that increases risk of bleeding. In the present ex vivo study we investigated the influence of fibrinogen and rFVIIa, alone or in combination, on whole blood coagulation thromboelastometry using pre- and postoperative blood samples from 18 consecutive adult patients undergoing CPB surgery. Dynamic thromboelastometric clotting profiles were recorded using citrated whole blood activated with trace amounts of tissue factor (Innovin, final dilution 1:17000). Blood samples were collected before surgery (control) and postoperative samples were obtained following in vivo neutralization of heparin with protamine sulphate. All blood samples were treated with heparinase to ensure neutralization of possible residual heparin effect. The post-operative blood samples were spiked with buffer, rFVIIa (2 microg/mL), fibrinogen (1 mg/mL), or the combination of rFVIIa and fibrinogen. Despite neutralization of heparin, CPB surgery left a measurable coagulopathy that was thromboelastometrically characterized by prolonged onset of clotting, reduced maximum velocity of clot formation (MaxVel), and decreased maximum clot firmness (MCF). Ex vivo spiking of the postoperative samples with rFVIIa shortened the clotting time. Fibrinogen also shortened the clotting time and, in addition, improved the MaxVel, and MCF. Finally, adding the combination of rFVIIa and fibrinogen to the postoperative samples corrected all thromboelastometric parameters to the preoperative range. In conclusion, the correction of whole blood clotting abnormalities that occurs with rFVIIa and/or fibrinogen suggests that future clinical trials on treatment of bleeding during CPB surgery should study the haemostatic effect of fibrinogen or possibly the combination of rFVIIa and fibrinogen.Description
