In the January 2020 issue, the article “Fresh Frozen Plasma versus Crystalloid Priming of Cardiopulmonary Bypass Circuit in Pediatric Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial” (Dieu A, Rosal Martins M, Eeckhoudt S, Matta A, Kahn D, Khalifa C, Rubay J, Poncelet A, Haenecour A, Derycke E, Thiry D, Gregoire A, Momeni M. Anesthesiology 2020; 132:95–106. doi: 10.1097/ALN.0000000000003017) contains an error. A sentence on page 5 states “The maximum clot firmness and the clot formation time of the EXTEM test and the maximum clot firmness of the FIBTEM test were significantly lower in the crystalloid group upon weaning from CBP,” but in table 4 the EXTEM clot formation time at end of CPB is lower in the FFP group (149 ± 52 vs. 216 ± 98 s). Table 4 and the data represented in the table are correct. The sentence on page 5 should read as follows: “The maximum clot firmness of the EXTEM test and the maximum clot firmness of the FIBTEM test were significantly lower in the crystalloid group upon weaning from CPB.”
The authors regret the error. The online version and PDF of the article have been corrected.
