Coagulation and Transfusion Medicine / RATIONAL FRESH FROZEN PLASMA TRANSFUSION Toward Rational Fresh Frozen Plasma Transfusion The Effect of Plasma Transfusion on Coagulation Test Results

Numerous published guidelines encourage appropriate use of fresh frozen plasma (FFP). However, adherence is documented as poor. Therefore, we sought to determine the laboratory effect of FFP administration to patients with an international normalized ratio (INR) less than 1.6 (prothrombin time <1.6 times normal). We found minimally prolonged INRs decreased with treatment of the underlying disea...

Toward rational fresh frozen plasma transfusion: The effect of plasma transfusion on coagulation test results.

Recurrent transfusion-related acute lung injury after fresh frozen plasma in a patient with hereditary factor V deficiency.

To the Editor: Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) can be a serious complication resulting from the transfusion of plasma that contains antibodies against recipient white blood cells. There have been only four previously reported cases of recurrent TRALI [1–3]. We describe a patient with recurrent TRALI, emphasizing potential strategies to prevent this disease. A 25-year-old man with ...

Evaluation and analysis of quality control results of Fresh Frozen Plasma units in Iranian blood transfusion centers during 1397-1398

Abstract Background and Objectives Fresh frozen plasma is the plasma that retains its unstable protein activity during the freezing process. The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality of FFP products during 1397- 1398.   Materials and Methods In this cross-sectional descriptive study, quality control results of FFP parameters of blood transfusion departments were collected in E...
