When introducing cryoprecipitate, compatibility with ABO blood groups should be considered. Preparation before use dissolve in 50 ml of water for injection, at a temperature of 35-37 ° C. The drug dissolves completely within 7 minutes. The obtained solution of light yellow color should not contain flakes and is applied immediately after dissolution.
Intravenously injected, slowly using a syringe or a transfusion system with a disposable filter.
The dose of cryoprecipitate depends on the initial content of factor VIII in the patient's blood,character and localization of bleeding, the degree of risk of surgical intervention, the presence of a specific inhibitor in the patient's blood that can neutralize the activity of factor VIII. The dose of cryoprecipitate is expressed in units of factor VIII activity.
To ensure effective hemostasis in the most frequent complications of hemophilia (hemarthrosis, renal, gingival and nasal bleeding), as well as when removing teeth, the content of factor VIII in plasma should be not less than 20% of activity, with intermuscular hematomas, gastrointestinal bleeding, fractures, injury is not less than 40% of the activity, with most surgical interventions not less than 70% of the activity.
The number of doses of cryoprecipitate necessary to increase the concentration of factor VIII in the blood to a predetermined level is calculated taking into account that when the preparation is administered in the amount of 1 unit per kg of body weight of the patient, the blood factor VIII is increased by an average of 1% according to the formula:
X = YxZ / 100, where
X is the dose of cryoprecipitate, Y - body weight of the patient in kg, Z- the necessary content of factor VIII in the patient's blood, 100 the minimum content of factor VIII in units of activity in a single dose.
After complete stopping of bleeding, the administration of the drug to patients with hemophilia is carried out at intervals of 12-24 hours and in a dose providing an increase in the content of factor VIII by at least 20%. Such treatment is continued for several days until the complete relief of inflammatory changes or a visible decrease in the size of the hematoma.
In surgical interventions, the haemostatic dose of the drug is administered 30 minutes prior to surgery. With massive bleeding produce replenishment of blood loss. The cryoprecipitate solution is reintroduced at the end of the operation at a dose equal to half the original dose. Within 3-5 days after the operation, it is necessary to maintain the concentration of factor VIII in the blood of the patient within the limits as during the operation. In the further postoperative period to maintain hemostasis, it is sufficient to increase the content of factor VIII to 20% of activity.
The duration of hemostatic therapy is in most cases 7-14 days and depends on the nature of the surgical intervention, the localization of bleeding, and reparative tissue features.
