What Does FFP Stand For?
FFP stands for Fresh Frozen Plasma
FFP, or Fresh Frozen Plasma, is a blood product derived from the liquid portion of blood that is separated and frozen shortly after collection. It contains essential proteins, including clotting factors, albumin, and immunoglobulins, making it vital for treating patients with clotting disorders, liver disease, or those undergoing massive transfusions. FFP is administered to restore plasma volume and improve coagulation in individuals experiencing bleeding or undergoing surgical procedures. Its preservation and storage at low temperatures maintain the functionality of its components for transfusion purposes.
