Storage of thawed plasma for a liquid plasma bank: impact of temperature and methylene blue pathogen inactivation
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Rapid transfusion of fresh-frozen plasma (FFP) is desired for treating coagulopathies, but thawing and issuing of FFP takes more than 40 minutes. Liquid storage of plasma is a potential solution but uncertainties exist regarding clotting factor stability. We assessed different storage conditions of thawed FFP and plasma treated by methylene blue plus light (MB/light) for pathogen inactivation.
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Fifty thawed …
