Association of preoperative plasma fibrinogen level with postoperative bleeding after on-pump coronary bypass surgery: does plasma fibrinogen level affect the amount of postoperative bleeding?
Abstract
OBJECTIVES
Our primary aim was to investigate the association between the preoperative concentration of plasma fibrinogen and the volume of postoperative bleeding. Our secondary aim was to identify whether there is a possible correlation between the patients’ different characteristics and haemostatic laboratory variables and the postoperative amount of bleeding after on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting procedures.
