About this trial

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.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • FEIBA

    Drug

    Subjects randomized to FEIBA will receive up to 2 vials of 500U of FEIBA through a preexisting central line at a rate that does not exceed 2 units per kg of body weight per minute for the study intervention.

  • FFP

    Drug

    Subjects randomized to FFP will receive up to 2 units of FFP intravenously through a preexisting central line.
