This was a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) x 3 case on a 60 year old
male. The
Hemobag® autologous whole blood
infusion of 1150 mL was returned in 10 minutes with
no blood products given, and the patient left the ICU on Day #1.
This case represents yet another fibrinogen record for the Hemobag®. Of
particular note was the 300% increase in Factor 7 assay activity
level (73% in a sample drawn from the patient compared to 223% in
the Hemobag® concentrated autologous whole blood).
The results were as follows for the Hemobag® autologous whole blood infusion end product
(SI units in brackets):
- Platelet count:
430 x 103/mm3
(430
x 109/L)
- Fibrinogen:
972 mg/dL (9.72 g/L)
- Hct: 56%
(0.56)
- Total Protein:
13.6 g/dL (136 g/L)
- Albumin:
5.7 g/dL (57 g/L)
- Factor VII
assay: 223%
