Take Home Points
- Infuse factor first, investigate later
- Treat when bleeding is suspected, not confirmed. Have a low threshold!
- It is better to over treat than undertreat. Give full dose when in doubt
- Factor 8 = 50U/kg
- Factor 9 = 100 U/kg
- Beware of hidden bleeds (brain, retroperitoneal, deep muscles)
- If patient has inhibitors, or no factor available you may use
- Activated PCC (FEIBA) = 80 -100U/kg
- Recombinant factor 7a = 90 mcg/kg
