Transfusion

Question 1

Fresh frozen plasma
- Contains
- Indications

Answer 1

• all coag factors and plasma proteins, including labile coag factors (V and VIII)
• Good for rodenticide tox, hemorrhage from DIC or liver disease

Question 2

Cryoprecipitate

Answer 2

primarily VIII and XIII, vWF, fibrinogen, and fibronectin at 50 – 80% of the levels of FFP but in a smaller volume.

Question 3

Cryosupernatant

Answer 3

sufficient quantities of most coag factors except for those in cryoprecipitate (NOT VIII and XIII, vWF, fibrinogen, and fibronectin)

Question 4

Stored plasma

Answer 4

• significantly lower conc of V and VIII (labile factors) but has adequate levels of vit-K dependent factors (II, VI, IX, X) and other plasma proteins.
• Good for rodenticide tox also!
