Comparison between Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (PCC) and Fresh FrozenPlasma (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 frozenplasma (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. Thrombosis Research.
They received fewer PRBCs, fresh frozenplasma (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 frozenplasma and platelets.
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-frozenplasma (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.
In contrast, protamine could be used for heparin and LMWH reversal and vitamin K, fresh frozenplasma and prothrombinase complex concentrate could be used to reverse coumadin ( Hunt and Levi BMJ 2018 ). This changed in 2015 when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved idarucizumab for the reversal of dabigatran.
Bradykinin Mediated Plasma globulins called kininogens release bradykinin and cause vascular permeability. Image: ( Morgan 2010 ) Features Absence of urticaria and pruritus Insidious onset (24-36 hours) ACE Inhibitors Inhibition of ACE hinders the degradation of bradykinin and can lead to idiosyncratic angioedema.

(Judge 2019) Best when given within 4 hours of the bite, but still effective within 24 hours Always give an entire vial of antivenom, never a partial vial. It’s expensive, so if you’re giving some of a vial, give it all.
For patients on VKAs to prevent stroke in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who require reversal, 4-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) is preferred to fresh frozenplasma (FFP) because of the rapidity of INR reduction (Conditional recommendation, very low-quality evidence).
Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) with fresh frozenplasma (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.
Fresh frozenplasma, 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.”
Major haemorrhage protocols typically include a mixture of packed red blood cells (pRBCs), platelets, and fresh frozenplasma (FFP). Transfusion of plasma, platelets, and red blood cells in a 1:1:1 vs a 1:1:2 ratio and mortality in patients with severe trauma: the PROPPR randomized clinical trial. 2024;19(5):e0303109.
Institutional protocols should be utilized, keeping in mind that either whole blood or a 1:1:1 ratio of packed red blood cells, platelets, and fresh frozenplasma are optimal. 13 Massive transfusion protocols (MTP) are hallmarks of trauma resuscitation, and they are critical to the unstable pelvic fracture patient.
Antidote : Deferoxamine is a chelating agent derived from Streptomyces pilosus ; binds free iron from plasma and iron inside of cells. Coagulopathy: Parenteral vitamin K and/or fresh frozenplasma (FFP) as clinically indicated. 9 Typical dose: Polyethylene glycol (Go-Lytely ) 25 mL/kg/hr in small children and 1.5-2
