Effect of prolonged storage at 2°C–6°C for 120 h on the coagulation factors of thawed cryoprecipitate: Can we extend its shelf life post thaw beyond 4 h?

BACKGROUND: Cryoprecipitate helps in replenishing important coagulation factors like fibrinogen, Factor VIII and von Willebrand factor without running the risk of volume overload. It is very useful in the treatment of trauma patients with active bleeding and works best when administered early. Exten...

CONCLUSION: Although the levels of clotting factors are reduced during storage, they are still maintained above the therapeutic range. In scenarios where maintaining frozen cryoprecipitate inventory is a logistical challenge and emergency massive demands of cryoprecipitate are foreseen, the use of pre-thawed cryoprecipitate can be considered as a viable option.Arghyadeep MarikJoseph PhilipRajiv Singh MallhiNeerja KushwahaSudeep KumarAmit Kumar BiswasArvind Kumar YadavWolters Kluwer Medknow Publicationsarticlecoagulation factorsprolonged storageshelf lifethawed cryoprecipitateDiseases of the blood and blood-forming organsRC633-647.5ENAsian Journal of Transfusion Science, Vol 15, Iss 2, Pp 146-150 (2021)
