Question of the Day
In which of the following clinical scenarios is the transfusion of cryoprecipitate LEAST appropriate?
Explanation
Cryoprecipitate contains factor VIII, fibrinogen, vWF, and factor XIII. It does not contain factor IX, which is the missing clotting factor in hemophilia B. Although DDAVP and factor concentrates are the preferred treatment in von Willebrand's disease, cryopreciptate is an acceptable therapy if the others are not available. Hypofibrinogenemia and massive resuscitation which leads to relative fibrinogen deficiency and potentially worsened clinical bleeding are indications for administration of cryoprecipitate (or fibrinogen concentrates if available).
