Liz Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Once thawed and not released immediately, the FFP is stored at 2-6 C then they transfuse them at 4C slowly as the RBCs. However, in TTP with FFP replacement this is a problem. what do you do, use a warmer? any other options?Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smarty pants Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Liz - I assume you're talking about TPE for treatment of TTP? Blood warmers are an option, but not necessary ... put enough blankets on the patient and they'll do quite well with an infusion of about 4L of plasma over 90 minutes time.
