Hyperfibrinolysis and reduced functional fibrinogen in haemorrhagic caesarean delivery: a secondary analysis of the TRACES trial evaluating fibrinogen kinetics following fibrinogen concentrate or plasma infusion

Int J Obstet AnesthPublished Secondary analysis of the TRACES randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

Hyperfibrinolysis markedly impairs fibrinogen concentrate-mediated fibrinogen restoration during postpartum haemorrhage.

Study context

Population
Haemorrhagic caesarean delivery patients receiving fibrinogen concentrate during PPHof 151 trial patients
Participants
34 patients
Comparison
Hyperfibrinolysis (HF) vs No HF among patients receiving fibrinogen concentrate
  • HFn = 5
Primary endpoint
Fibrinogen restoration trajectories after first fibrinogen concentrate administration
Methodological detailsmulticentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, exploratory
  • Multicentre
  • Double-blind
  • Placebo-controlled
  • Exploratory

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Fibrinogen restoration
  • HF vs No HF: P < 0.01

Further findings

Blood loss during PPH

HF status associated with increased blood loss
