Dosage of Fresh frozen plasma The dosage of Fresh Frozen Plasma is generally 12-15 mls/Kg 1 .  Volume of a unit of FFP is 220 mls.  Once thawed it should be transfused within 4 hours because of progressive loss of labile coagulation factors  The recommend infusion rate of plasma is a unit over 30 minutes to an uncompromised adult.  2   Risk of circulatory overload or anaphylactoid reactions are especially associated with rapid infusion rates.

Editor's Notes

  • #3: Coagulation may be initiated by vascular injury, however, multiple coagulation pathways are involved in the actual formation of clot. Vasoconstriction occurs immediately following vascular injury and is followed by platelet adhesion to collagen in the vessel wall exposed by injury. Subsequently platelet aggregation results in a platelet plug which is later strengthened by fibrin. Fibrin production may begin with the conversion of factor X to factor Xa. Factor X can be activated by means of two reaction sequences. One requires tissue factor (TF) which is exposed to the blood as a result of vascular injury. Because TF is not in the blood, it is an extrinsic element in coagulation, hence the name "extrinsic" pathway for this sequence. The catalytic action of TF is the central precipitating event in the clotting cascade. TF acts in concert with factor VIla and phospholipid (PL) to convert factor IX to IXa and factor X to Xa. The "intrinsic" pathway is initiated by the "contact" activation of factor XI by the XIIa/activated high molecular weight kininogen (HKa) complex. Factor XIa also converts factor IX to IXa and factor IXa in turn converts factor X to Xa, in concert with factors VIIIa and phospholipid (the “tenase complex”). However factor Xa is formed, it is the active catalytic ingredient of the "Prothrombinase” complex, which includes factor Va and PL and converts prothrombin to thrombin. Thrombin cleaves fibrinopeptides (FPA, FPB) from fibrinogen, allowing the resultant fibrin monomers to polymerize, and converts factor XIII to XIIIa which crosslinks the fibrin clot. Thrombin accelerates the clotting cascade by its potential to activate factors V and VIII, but continued proteolytic action also activates protein C which degrades Va and VIIIa.

  • #5: And encoded for the gene now named VKORC1. In this work by Rost et al that should the overt warfarin resistance was due to non-synonymous mutation in VKORC1 - that is patients needing doses at 25-50 mg/d had clear predisposing mutations. Interestingly, NO nonsynomymous mutations were found in control chromosomes.

However factor Xa is formed, it is the active catalytic ingredient of the "Prothrombinase” complex, which includes factor Va and PL and converts prothrombin to thrombin. Thrombin cleaves fibrinopeptides (FPA, FPB) from fibrinogen, allowing the resultant fibrin monomers to polymerize, and converts factor XIII to XIIIa which crosslinks the fibrin clot. Thrombin accelerates the clotting cascade by its potential to activate factors V and VIII, but continued proteolytic action also activates protein C which degrades Va and VIIIa.

  • #19: This slide illustrates the pivotal role of FVIIa/tissue factor activation in producing hemostasis. This slide represents a schematic model of normal hemostasis that requires activation of both FX and FIX. FVIIa/tissue factor (TF)-activated FXa and FIXa play distinct roles in coagulation. FXa cannot move to the platelet surface because of the presence of normal plasma inhibitors, but instead remains on the TF-bearing cell and activates a small amount of thrombin. This thrombin is not sufficient for fibrinogen cleavage but is critical for hemostasis since it can activate platelets, activate and release FVIII from von Willebrand factor (vWF), activate platelet and plasma FV, and activate FXI. FIXa moves to the platelet surface, where it forms a complex with FVIIIa and activates FX on the platelet surface. This platelet surface FXa is relatively protected from normal plasma inhibitors and can complex with platelet surface FVa, where it activates thrombin in quantities sufficient to provide for fibrinogen cleavage.

  • #20: Multiple pathways are responsible for platelet activation. Platelets adhere to damaged blood vessels via cell surface adhesion molecules and their membrane receptors such as glycoprotein Ib/IX (GP Ib/IX), the ligand for von Willebrand factor (VWF), which in turn can activated platelets and cause conformational changes. Further, other activators including thrombin, adrenaline, ADP, and collagen can also activate platelets. When activation occurs, the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa membrane receptor (GP IIb/IIIa) is exposed. This receptor forms bridges using fibrinogen resulting in aggregation. Platelet activation also exposes a phospholipid surface (meeting place) upon which coagulation proteins carry out their reactions. The sequential activation of these coagulation factors ultimately leads to the formation of fibrin, which is a critical component in stabilizing the hemostatic plug. Thrombin when generated, plays a pivotal role in hemostasis, via both fibrin conversion and platelet activation.
  • #27: Current data suggest that high-dose FVIIa can enhance thrombin generation when normal levels of all of the coagulation factors are present. FVIIa on the platelet surface generates additional FX (and probably FIXa), so that thrombin generation is significantly increased. This observation may account for the efficacy of FVIIa in patients with thrombocytopenia. With high-dose FVIIa, each platelet can produce more thrombin than it would normally. So even if there are fewer platelets at the site of an injury, each platelet that does localize is more efficient at generating thrombin. The following slides illustrate the interactive steps involved in hemostatic activation associated with TF-FVIIa activation. Hoffman M et al. Blood Coagul Fibrinolysis 1998;9(suppl 1):S61–S65.
