For patients on VKAs to prevent stroke in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who require reversal, 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) is preferred to fresh frozen plasma (FFP) because of the rapidity of INR reduction (Conditional recommendation, very low-quality evidence). Conditional recommendation, low-quality evidence).

Theoretically giving them FFP while waiting on PLEX seems like it might be sensible but in reality probably does nothing when the autoantibodies are still around. UPDATE: Caplacizumab is a new drug with now 2 RCTs supporting its use and is finding an increasing role, early in the role of TTP, even immediately after PLEX is started.

This could potentially help improve thrombin generation, reduce blood product consumption, but also could increase the risk of thromboembolic events. Some clinicians have advocated for early administration of 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (4F-PCC) based on limited observational data. to 3.33; P = 0.72 to 2.10; P = 0.03

Most major hemorrhage protocols give a balanced transfusion of PRBCs, FFP, and platelets in ratios approaching concentrations found in whole blood. Fibrinogen and fibrin are often depleted during major trauma as a result of consumption, breakdown, and dilution. Fibrinogen products may also be needed to stabilize clots and stem bleeding.

A meta-analysis of fifteen RCTs comparing blood product transfusion rates of cardiothoracic and surgery patients found significantly lower transfusion rates of FFP in TEG/ROTEM guided group compared to traditional tests, with no difference in survival rates (Fahrendorff 2017). Significant coagulopathy: INR > 1.8
