Comparison between Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (PCC) and Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) for the Urgent Reversal of Warfarin in Patients with Mechanical Heart Valves in a Tertiary Care Cardiac Center. Iran J Pharm Res. 2015;14(3):877-885. Fariborz Farsad B, Golpira R, Najafi H, et al.
Joly, 2017; Sawler, 2020) Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) (contains ADMTS-13) may be used to supplement ADAMTS-13 if there is a delay in initiating TPE in the emergency department (i.e. Decreases production of anti-ADAMTS13 antibodies by removing the B cells that mature into autoantibody-secreting plasma cells.

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)? Noting with some relief that at least he isn’t anticoagulated, you activate the hospital massive transfusion protocol.
They received fewer PRBCs, fresh frozen plasma (FFP), and platelets across their LOS, while total units and volumes were similar. Balance resuscitation strategy, often in a 1:1:1 ratio of PRBCs with fresh frozen plasma and platelets.
a) A balanced ratio of 1:1:1 (platelets: FFP: packed red cells) The PROPPR trial showed us that balanced ratios are important. This was a randomised controlled multisite study comparing resuscitation of trauma patients requiring massive transfusion using either 1:1::1 or 1:1:2 ratios of platelets to plasma to red blood cells.
Until the results of lab testing come back and hemorrhage pace is slowed, what ratio of plasma to RBCs should we target? If someone is on anti-platelets or anticoagulants what is the best strategy to ensure the docs in the ED know what to give and how much? What's better, 1:1:1 or 2:1:1? Should we ever consider using Recombinant Factor 7a?
FFP and platelets also contain citrate. Two randomized controlled trials by Moore et al found that prehospital plasma administration in trauma patients is associated with hypoCa (53% vs 36%). Packed red blood cells (pRBCs) are stored with 3 grams of citrate per unit, while whole blood is stored with 1.66 grams of citrate per unit.
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).
Treatment consists of: * PLEX – actual proper PLEX with plasma replacement as opposed to just washing out all the good stuff and giving albumin as replacement. 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.
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.”
Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) with fresh frozen plasma (FFP) is the first-line treatment, by simultaneously supplying fresh ADAMTS13 and removing anti-ADAMTS13 autoantibodies. Therapeutical plasma exchange for thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura in the emergency department: A single center experience. 2021;10(3):536.
Major haemorrhage protocols typically include a mixture of packed red blood cells (pRBCs), platelets, and fresh frozen plasma (FFP). Platelets and FFP replace lost platelets and coagulation factors, which help with clotting and also provide some volume expansion. 2024;19(5):e0303109. Published 2024 May 28. 2015;313(5):471-482.
