ABSTRACT
Rapid fibrinogen (Fbg) evaluation is important in patients with massive bleeding during severe trauma and those undergoing major surgery. However, there are only a few studies on the point-of-care Fbg analyzer. In this study, we aimed to investigate the accuracy of Fbg level measured using CG02N, with whole blood contained in lithium-heparinized syringes with two different concentrations of heparin. Blood samples were collected in lithium-heparinized tubes, namely PREZA-PAK®II (low-dose heparin group [LG], 7 IU/mL) and Pro-Vent® Plus (high-dose heparin group [HG], 70.5 IU/mL). The Fbg levels in LG and HG were compared with those of citrated plasma Fbg (standard-Fbg). Strong correlations with respect to the Fbg level were observed between standard-Fbg and LG or HG (r = 0.968, p < 0.0001; r = 0.970, p < 0.0001, respectively). We demonstrated that the Fbg level in whole-blood samples was accurately assessed by CG02N and not affected by low- or high-dose heparin.
