Fresh frozen plasma is a blood product separated from whole blood within 6 hours of blood being removed from the human body and stored frozen. In blood transfusion, the World Health Organization recommends that the right type of blood, the right patient and the right time be transfused.

Blood products are produced according to strict procedures and are tested for blood type and quality before being used to replace blood for patients. This helps to minimize the risk of complications during blood transfusion.

Hypovolemic shock is a condition of decreased intravascular volume leading to circulatory failure in which there is a decrease in systemic tissue perfusion and/or an imbalance in blood flow distribution leading to inadequate oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues, resulting in a decrease in total cellular oxygenation. Tissue hypoperfusion occurs before there is evidence of hypotension.

Fresh frozen plasma is a blood product separated from whole blood within 8 hours of removing blood from the human body and stored frozen. So who is indicated for fresh frozen plasma transfusion?
