Detailed explanation-1: -FFP contains all of the clotting factors, fibrinogen (400 to 900 mg/unit), plasma proteins (particularly albumin), electrolytes, physiological anticoagulants (protein C, protein S, antithrombin, tissue factor pathway inhibitor) and added anticoagulants [1, 2].
Detailed explanation-2: -Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) is plasma that has been frozen so it can be stored and used later. The plasma you get is thawed out and warmed before it is used. Plasma comes from blood that has been donated. The donated blood is carefully tested to make sure it’s safe to use.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cryoprecipitate is preferred because it contains the same concentration of fibrinogen as FFP in less than one-twentieth of the volume. For example, the concentration of fibrinogen is approximately 1500 mg/dL in cryoprecipitate and 100-300 mg/dL in plasma.
Detailed explanation-4: -Plasma exchange with fresh frozen plasma is the therapy of choice for TTP. Octaplas is a pooled plasma (human) that has been treated with a solvent detergent process. This blood product provides a viable alternative to single-donor fresh-frozen plasma, with a reduced risk of certain viral transmissions.
