Abstract:
The intraoperative management of a dysfibrinogenemic patient with gastric cancer is reported herein. In order to avoid abnormal bleeding, the fibrinogen level during a cancer-operation should be maintained above 60 mg/dl. Cryoprecipitate, however, is not suitable for fibrinogen supplementation because of its short life in vivo.
