9 Current best practice suggests a 1:1:1 administration of PRBC, Platelets, and FFP. Balanced transfusion of packed red blood cells (PRBCs), platelets and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) in a 1:1:1 ratio is the current best practice to avoid inducing coagulopathy by large volume blood product administration.
11 Transfuse patients who are anemic or coagulopathic, ideally with fresh whole blood; if this is not available, use packed red blood cells (PRBCs) for anemia, and replete coagulopathy with platelets, fresh frozen plasma (FFP), or cryoprecipitate as indicated. 2017;55(7):2009-2017.

The transfusion tech calls to remind you that your protocol is currently under review, and asks if would you like the 1:1 or the 1:3 version of fresh-frozen plasma (FFP) to packed red blood cells (pRBC)? years ( 2 ). Falling is the most common cause of traumatic injury resulting in older adults presenting to the ED [4].
A meta-analysis of fifteen RCTs comparing blood product transfusion rates of cardiothoracic and surgery patients found significantly lower transfusion rates of FFP in TEG/ROTEM guided group compared to traditional tests, with no difference in survival rates (Fahrendorff 2017). Significant coagulopathy: INR > 1.8
a) A balanced ratio of 1:1:1 (platelets: FFP: packed red cells) The PROPPR trial showed us that balanced ratios are important. b) A balanced ratio of 1: 1:2 (platelets: FFP: packed red cells) The PROPPR trial showed us that balanced ratios are important. 2017 Dec;83(6):1136-1141. And blood comes out. Quite quickly.
Fresh frozen plasma, or FFP, should only be given to cirrhotic patients as part of the massive transfusion protocol in cases of profound hypotension, as “patients with cirrhosis rarely have true enzymatic hypocoagulability, and FFP may worsen bleeding due to over-resuscitation and dilution of coagulation factors.”
FFP and platelets also contain citrate. Blood products, including both packed red blood cells and whole blood, are stored with the anticoagulant citrate, with can bind Ca and lower ionized Ca levels. Packed red blood cells (pRBCs) are stored with 3 grams of citrate per unit, while whole blood is stored with 1.66 grams of citrate per unit.
A: Balanced blood product transfusion 3 pRBC:2 FFP:1 Platelets B: Calcium replacement C: Avoid hypothermia D: Avoid acidosis E: Replace cryoprecipitate to target normal fibrinogen Answer 4 The correct answer is A.
