ABSTRACT

Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) • FFP contains plasma, coagulation factors, proteins C and S and antithrombin. • FFP is indicated for consumptive coagulopathy as seen with disseminated intravascu­

lar coagulation (D IC) or TTP. It is also used in hemophilia when specific factor re­ placement therapy is not available. Patients with coagulopathy secondary to liver dis­ ease or warfarin toxicity are treated with FFP if significant hemorrhage is present.
