[lulaniyarasheed]

dear collegues,

hi ,what is FFP?

thanks

[Stefan Johansson]

FFP = Fresh Frozen Plasma

We generally administer 10 ml/kg of plasma and then re-check coagulation parameters, and repeat plasma if needed. Specific coagulation factors are not used unless very special circumstances.

FFP 10ml/kg . Make sure taht Vitamin K is administered if not give vit K also. then repeat coagulation profile and repeat FFP if needed.
