The paramedic asks you, “we have saline, and we also have red-cells and this fancy new lyophilised plasma. Should we give our shocked patient saline or plasma / red cells en route to the ED?” Reference: Crombie et al.

This response varies between individuals, age groups and developmental stages, so a single plasma concentration cannot be defined. If there is clinical concern for hypoglycaemia, plasma glucose concentration should be measured. Learning point: Take a plasma glucose sample and ask the lab to run it urgently – time is sugar!

Although IgA has limited systemic circulation (~6 months), the memory B cells that are responsible for preventing cholera infection persist and can quickly expand and differentiate into plasmablasts and eventually the plasma cells, which can reseed protective antibodies upon antigen-contact activation.
