Compliance with ESAIC guidelines for fibrinogen concentrate prescription in cardiac surgery: a multicentre French cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fibrinogen concentrate may reduce allogeneic blood product transfusion in cardiac surgery patients with bleeding associated with acquired hypofibrinogenemia. The European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC) has issued guidelines, but compliance to these guidelines has not been studied yet.

Methods

This multicentre observational cohort study was aimed at evaluating the compliance of fibrinogen prescription with ESAIC. Adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in 13 French cardiac surgery centres were recruited from March 2017 to April 2018. Compliance with ESAIC guidelines was considered whenever patients received fibrinogen in case of hypofibrinogenemia and clinically relevant bleeding, or when patients did not receive
