Clinical Trial: Observational Study of Prophylaxis and Treatment of Acute Perioperative Bleeding With Beriplex® P/N (Probe Study)

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational

Official Title: Non-interventional Observational Study of Beriplex® P/N in Prophylaxis and Treatment of Acute Bleeding Perioperatively (Diagnostic Intervention or Surgery)

Brief Summary: Beriplex® P/N is made from human plasma (the liquid part of the blood) and contains the coagulation factors II, VII, IX and X which are important for blood clotting (coagulation). Lack of any of these factors means that blood does not clot as quickly as it should and so there is an increased tendency to bleed. This observational study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Beriplex® P/N in the prevention (prophylaxis) and treatment of bleeding during surgery (perioperative bleeding) in a routine clinical setting.
