About this trial

The objective of this multicenter, single-arm, observational study is to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of early administration of FDA-approved, pre-thawed Pathogen Reduced Cryoprecipitated Fibrinogen Complex (INTERCEPT Fibrinogen Complex, IFC) in trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock (HS) and functional hypofibrinogenemia. This study will determine whether rapid point-of-care testing for functional hypofibrinogenemia and availability of a shelf-stable fibrinogen complex (IFC) results in shorter time to administration of fibrinogen replacement and correction of functional hypofibrinogenemia, as compared with historical controls and published literature using conventional cryoprecipitate-AHF (CRYO-AHF).

This study aims to:

* Demonstrate the feasibility and response to early administration of pre-thawed IFC when ordered during initial resuscitation of severely injured patients with HS and functional hypofibrinogenemia. * Assess the effectiveness of early administration of pre-thawed IFC on correction of functional hypofibrinogenemia and on proximate process measures of resuscitation, including time to hemostasis, time to completion of resuscitation, and total volume of resuscitation. * Assess clinical outcomes in severely injured patients with HS and functional hypofibrinogenemia receiving early administration of pre-thawed IFC.
