Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The amount of postoperative bleeding

    The amount of blood loss (tube drainage) in the first 6 hours of ICU admission and daily until the seventh day of ICU. Re-exploration is mandatory if the patient presente excessive bleeding not responsive to clinical measures (warming, coagulopathy correction and/or thrombocytopenia correction), associated hemodynamic instability or evidence of cardiac tamponade.

    Within 7 days after cardiac surgery

Secondary Outcomes (13)

  • The amount and type of blood transfusion

    within 7 days after cardiac surgery

  • Rate of acute kidney injury

    within 28 days after cardiac surgery

  • Rate of cardiac complications

    within 28 days after cardiac surgery

  • Rate of neurological complications

    within 28 days after cardiac surgery

  • Rate of infection complications

    within 28 days after cardiac surgery

  • +8 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

fibrinogen concentrate

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

patients randomized to fibrinogen group receive intravenous infusion of drug prepared based on ROTEM measurement of maximum clot firmness (MCF)

Drug: Fibrinogen Concentrate

control

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

patients randomized to the control group will receive the infusion of 0.9% saline (SF0,9%) prepared based on ROTEM measurement of maximum clot firmness (MCF)

Other: control

Interventions

Fibrinogen Concentrate is to be administered as an intravenous infusion after discontinuation of cardiopulmonary bypass and administration of protamine. Subjects are to be given Fibrinogen Concentrate at an individually determined dose based on FIBTEM MCF and body weight as follows: (15 \[mm\] - MCF \[mm\]) \* body weight \[kg\] / 140 \[mm\*kg/g\] = gram fibrinogen to be dosed as Fibrinogen Concentrate. Fibrinogen Concentrate is to be infused over 1 to 2 minutes. After Fibrinogen Concentrate infusion, bleeding treatment will follow the predefined, standardized treatment regimen.
