Thrombin generation (TG) is reduced after cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), contributing to coagulopathy and bleeding. Plasma transfusion or four-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) are commonly used to treat coagulopathic bleeding after CPB without knowledge of how each may restore TG. To determine the effect of PCC infusion on restoration of thrombin generation compared with plasma transfusion, we performed a laboratory-based secondary analysis of a randomized, controlled trial of adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery to assess efficacy and safety of 4 F-PCC versus plasma for treatment of perioperative coagulopathic bleeding after CPB.
