Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Bleeding in Liver Transplantation
Interventions
Other: plasma
Registration Number
NCT00235183
Lead Sponsor
Etablissement Français du Sang
Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to compare the clinical efficacy of three types of plasma secured on the viral level either by quarantine or by chemical treatment in patients undergoing liver transplantation.

Detailed Description

Three types of plasma are transfused in bleeding patients undergoing liver transplantation:

* quarantined plasma,

* methylene blue treated plasma,

* solvent/detergent plasma. The main purpose is to show that the volume of methylene blue treated plasma consumed intraoperatively is equivalent to that of the 2 other types of plasma.

In addition, the correction of coagulation abnormalities are studied.
