Fibrinogen Replacement Calculator

Calculate fibrinogen concentrate dose from viscoelastic test results (ROTEM FIBTEM, TEG CFF-MA, Quantra FCS) for perioperative bleeding management. Weight-adjusted dosing, cryoprecipitate conversion, and target profiles for cardiac surgery, trauma, and obstetric hemorrhage.

Input

1

Fibrinogen replacement dose

Estimate fibrinogen concentrate, cryoprecipitate, and FFP equivalents.

Parameter input

Perioperative hemostatic target range 1.5–2.0 g/L; 200 mg/dL is a commonly used lower bound.

Advanced coefficient adjustment is available if needed, but the default setting is appropriate for most adult patients.


  • 1 U = 140 mL
  • Approx. 4 U ≈ 1 g fibrinogen
  • Approximate conversion only — varies by batch
2

Platelet replacement estimate

Estimate platelet units from platelet count, body weight, and selected target.

Overview

This standalone calculator is lab-first: the primary input is laboratory fibrinogen (Clauss assay, mg/dL). Fibrinogen is the first coagulation factor to become critically depleted during major haemorrhage. Enter the measured lab value, select a clinical target profile, and the calculator estimates the replacement dose. Approximate ROTEM, TEG, and Quantra equivalents are shown as secondary cross-checks after calculation.

Evidence Summary

Prospective data and perioperative guidelines support early, targeted fibrinogen replacement in cardiac surgery, trauma, liver transplantation, and major obstetric haemorrhage. The lab-based dose formula — (target − measured fibrinogen) × weight ÷ correction factor — is a weight-adjusted estimate based on plasma volume (~40 mL/kg). Target profiles in this calculator represent practical correction targets; actual treatment triggers depend on clinical context and institutional protocol. Early fibrinogen replacement reduces allogeneic transfusion requirements and may improve outcomes in cardiac surgery (Innerhofer, 2017) and massive haemorrhage (FEISTY, 2021).
