Overview

Brief Summary

Recently, the investigators study group showed in a mono center study that Point of Care (POC) based hemotherapy may reduce transfusion rates of allogenic blood products in perioperative care of coagulopathic cardiac surgery patients. The investigators aim to verify the obtained results by conducting this multicenter study.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

packed red blood cell concentrate (PRBC) transfusion rate

Time Frame: During the period between inclusion into the study and 24 h after postoperative admission to ICU
