Fresh frozen plasma, or FFP, should only be given to cirrhotic patients as part of the massive transfusion protocol in cases of profound hypotension, as “patients with cirrhosis rarely have true enzymatic hypocoagulability, and FFP may worsen bleeding due to over-resuscitation and dilution of coagulation factors.”

Case: A 71-year-old man is brought to your emergency department (ED) by emergency medical serviced (EMS) having fallen two steps at home. The transfusion tech calls to remind you that your protocol is currently under review, and asks if would you like the 1:1 or the 1:3 version of fresh-frozen plasma (FFP) to packed red blood cells (pRBC)?

2 TTP often presents abruptly, and most patients that develop it first visit the emergency department (ED) as their symptoms worsen. 1 Pregnant patients are particularly vulnerable to misdiagnosis of TTP in the ED. Most of these deaths can be attributed to a delay in diagnosis. Thus, early management is essential for patient outcomes.
