Factor VIII Inhibitor Bypass Activity (FEIBA) Versus Fresh Frozen Plasma As First Line Therapy For Bleeding After Cardiac Surgery

Summary

Coagulopathic-induced bleeding after cardiopulmonary bypass in cardiac surgery patients is common and is associated with adverse outcomes in cardiac surgery. The hypothesis of the study is that FEIBA will be a more effective treatment than standard of care (FFP) in cardiac surgery patients who have coagulopathic-induced bleeding. This study is being conducted to determine the efficacy of FEIBA versus FFP as first line therapy in correcting coagulopathic induced microvascular bleeding in cardiac surgery patients.
