Prepooled cryoprecipitate for treatment of hemophilia A.

Lyophilized factor VIII concentrates, because of their convenience, are the most commonly used products for providing antihemophilic factor to patients with hemophilia A. Heightened concerns about associated complications indicate that cryoprecipitate usage will increase in the immediate future. We present a protocol for making cryoprecipitate more usable by "prepooling" individual units of cryoprecipitate in an "open" system. Our experience indicates this approach is safe, effective and acceptable to patients, including those on home therapy programs.
