Trial size The calculation is based in part by data collected in a quality control investigation of the effect of OctaplasLG® vs. FFP. The power calculation is based on the finding of a significantly higher relative level of sTM in the FFP compared to the OctaplasLG® group (p=0.025). The relative values of sTM post-CPB: FFP group: mean 3.35 (SD 2.12); OctaplasLG® group: mean 1.70 (SD 0.49); SD across the entire group of patients: 1.574. To detect the above difference with a power of 0.90 (1-β) and alpha of 0.05 requires n=21 patients in each group. The investigators have chosen to include 42 patients, 21 evaluable patients in each randomization group in case of attrition, in the present trial.
