Comparative Effectiveness of INTERCEPT Fibrinogen Complex (IFC) and Cryoprecipitate-AHF (Cryo-AHF) for Treatment of Trauma Associated Hemorrhage

The objective of this study is to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of early IFC administration in patients with functional hypofibrinogenemia associated with hemorrhagic shock (HS). This study will elucidate whether advancements in rapid testing for functional hypofibrinogenemia and provision of a shelf-stable fibrinogen complex (IFC) results in a shorter time to administration of fibrinogen replacement, thus overcoming the limitations encountered by prior trials. This study aims to: * Demonstrate the feasibility and response to early administration of pre-thawed IFC compared to CRYO-AHF when ordered during resuscitation of severely injured patients with HS and functional hypofibrinogenemia. * Assess effectiveness of early administration of pre-thawed IFC vs CRYO-AHF in severely injured patients with HS and functional hypofibrinogenemia on proximate process measures of resuscitation. * Assess clinical outcomes in severely injured patients with HS and functional hypofibrinogenemia receiving early administration of pre-thawed IFC vs CRYO-AHF product.

A Point-of-care Electrochemical-based Device for Rapid Detection of Fibrinogen on Type A Aortic Dissection Surgery

This study compares the results of the existing fibrinogen concentration monitoring technology to the Electrochemical-based device, a point-of-care and rapid method,using a small amount of extra blood obtained in Type A Aortic Dissection Surgery.
