The patient’s plasma is mixed with normal pooled plasma (NPP) which adds sufficient clotting factors to overcome the deficiency. If an inhibitor is present, it will inhibit the clotting factors in patient plasma and the NPP, and the clotting time remains prolonged. Each unit of FVIII/kg raises the plasma FVIII level by 2%.
