Talk:Fresh frozen plasma

Plasma
Plasma is simular to FFP but it has some reduction of Factor V as mentioned in this article. However there is also a clinically significant reduction in Factor VIII. Truetraveler 18:17, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Effectiveness
I'm surprised that nobody's said anything about the claims given in the effectiveness section. It's pretty controversial and un-cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.104.23.1 (talk) 20:20, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Effectiveness - removed large block of text that didn't make sense there
I [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fresh_frozen_plasma&diff=546157964&oldid=541299783 reverted] this good faith edit by which added a huge block of text about Octaplas which was copied directly from a recently-declined submission to Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Octaplas: Indications, Safety, and Molecular Function.

I removed it because it didn't make sense in this section and it was such a huge, out-of-context submission. Experts in the topic should pick through the information and add whatever is appropriate to this or other articles to make them better. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  23:01, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Stability?
I am surprised that there is zero discussion of the shelf-life of this material. Its an obviously important issue. So, if kept frozen, how long is it effective? If data about effectiveness as a function of time or storage temperature are available, they would be even better. I gotta believe that that is available.Abitslow (talk) 00:02, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

User:Kerrylob11 not sure about this bit "Plasma must be ABO compatible with the intended transfusion recipient's red cells. "

Many sources I have red says this is desirable but not required.

What is the page number for the source in question? "MUST be compatible with the recipient's red cells". TECHNICAL MANUAL, 18TH EDITION, CHAPTER 15, PAGE 375. (Kerrylob11 (talk) 20:28, 31 January 2019 (UTC))

Some sources say recommended so adjusted wording.
