Groups2

Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.

GroupTitleDescriptionWith the outcomeAnalysedClinicalTrials.gov code
Group 1Fresh Frozen Plasma
After cardiopulmonary bypass, patients received protamine at dose 0.01 mg/unit of heparin given with target activated clotting time (ACT) within 10% of baseline value. After protamine administration the ACT, complete blood count (CBC), prothrombin time (PT)/ international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and fibrinogen, were collected via preexisting arterial access. If ACT \>10% baseline additional protamine was given at the anesthesiologists discretion. Evaluation and determination of excessive microvascular bleeding in the surgical field occurred 10 minutes after return of ACT to within 10% of baseline. Patients with clinical evidence of excessive microvascular bleeding in the surgical field as determined by the surgical team, along with a PT \>16.6 sec/ INR \>1.6 sec received fresh frozen plasma as this is standard therapy per our institutional algorithm at a dose of 10-15 mL/kg rounded up to the nearest unit.~Fresh frozen plasma (FFP): FFP

Group 2Prothrombin Complex Concentrate
After cardiopulmonary bypass, patients received protamine at dose 0.01 mg/unit of heparin given with target activated clotting time (ACT) within 10% of baseline value. After protamine administration the ACT, complete blood count (CBC), prothrombin time (PT)/ international normalized ratio (INR), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and fibrinogen, were collected via preexisting arterial access. If ACT \>10% baseline additional protamine was given at the anesthesiologists discretion. Evaluation and determination of excessive microvascular bleeding in the surgical field occurred 10 minutes after return of ACT to within 10% of baseline. Patients with clinical evidence of excessive microvascular bleeding in the surgical field as determined by the surgical team, along with a PT \>16.6 sec/ INR \>1.6 sec received Prothrombin complex concentrate (Human) 15 units/kg.~Prothrombin complex concentrate (Human): PCC (Kcentra)
