528 Comparative Analysis of Liquid Plasma and Fresh Frozen Plasma in Emergency Transfusions

Introduction/Objective The choice of plasma product can influence patient outcomes in emergency transfusions. This study compares the efficacy of liquid plasma and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) in trauma patients. Methods/Case Report Data were analyzed from 1,036 trauma patients, focusing on transfusion-related complications, time to hemostatic stability, and overall patient outcomes. The study included 166 patients receiving liquid plasma and 92 patients receiving FFP. Results Patients receiving liquid plasma experienced a 50% reduction in transfusion-related complications compared to those receiving FFP (10% vs. 20%, p < 0.05). The average time to achieve hemostatic stability was significantly shorter for liquid plasma recipients (60 minutes) compared to FFP recipients (90 minutes). Additionally, the mortality rate within 24 hours post-transfusion was lower in the liquid plasma group (5%) compared to the FFP group (12%). The length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) was also reduced by an average of 2 days for patients receiving liquid plasma. Conclusion Liquid plasma demonstrates superior outcomes in emergency transfusion settings, reducing complications and expediting patient stabilization. These results support the integration of liquid plasma into standard protocols, potentially leading to improved survival rates and reduced healthcare costs.
