| Description | FEIBA(R) is used to achieve haemostasis in haemophiliacs with inhibitor. The aim of this study was to evaluate efficacy and consumption of the product in treatment of haemorrhages in haemophiliacs with factor VIII inhibitor, and determine factors that can influence the results of treatment. We used data from our haemophilia centre from years 2000-2008. Six haemophiliacs with factor VIII inhibitor were treated on demand with FEIBA(R) for 61 bleeding episodes (45 haemarthroses, six muscle bleeds, six other sites bleeds and four multiple sites bleeds). |
