Administration of fresh frozen plasma and platelets





Administration of fresh frozen plasma and platelets:
  • Unlike red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma and platelets must be administered via the venous chamber using  a volumetric pump.
  • Administer during the last 20-30 minutes
  • Administer anticoagulation as normal prescription or prescribed for that day
  • Ensure the volume administered is calculated  into the total fluid volume to be removed/ultrafiltrated
