Plasma transfusion in the intensive care unit

20242 citationsOpen accessAga Khan University Kenya

Abstract

Plasma transfusions occurred in 10% of ICU patients. Over a third were given for non-bleeding indications and might have been avoidable. Target INR/PT was not stated in more than half of transfusions, and pre-transfusion INR/PT or VHA was not reported for 27%. Further research and education is needed to optimize guideline implementation and to identify appropriate indications for plasma transfusion.
