To enable rapid availability of plasma in emergency situations, the shelf‐life of thawed fresh‐frozen plasma (FFP) has been extended from 24 h to 5 days. The aim of this study was to evaluate the thrombin generation (TG) potential and clot‐forming ability during 5 days of refrigerated ...
summary Once thawed, fresh-frozen plasma (FFP) should be used, according to guidelines, within 24 h. In hospital practice, this may be associated with wastage. This study has been performed to investigate the coagulation levels of thawed quarantine FFP as used in the Netherlands. Five units of...
One way to reduce plasma waste is to extend its shelf life, given that the full range of therapeutic efficacy is maintained. We evaluated the effect of prolonged storage at 1 to 6°C on the activity of Factor (F)V, FVII, and FVIII in plasma thawed at 37 or 45°C. STUDY DESIGN AND...
In blood transfusion service, the primary goal of quality is 'transfusion of safe unit of blood.' Aim of the Study: To ensure that the prepared fresh frozen plasma (FFP) consistently met the requirements for quality and to find out the potency and possible extension of shelf life of fresh ...
