Plasma Transfusions in Critically Ill Children

See publication: Indications and Effects of Plasma Transfusions in Critically Ill Children

One-third of transfused patients were not bleeding and had no planned procedure. In addition, in most patients, coagulation tests are not sensitive to increases in coagulation factors resulting from plasma transfusion. Studies assessing appropriate plasma transfusion strategies are urgently needed.

This work is part of a broader research program on Hemostatic Transfusions in Critically Ill Children.
