Indeed, it was previously reported that 30 ml/kg of plasma were needed to achieve 30 increase in procoagulant factor levels in critically ill patients with bleeding [20]. Large volumes of plasma transfusion increase not only the risk of transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO) but also the risk of transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), a potentially lethal complication of plasma transfusion [21]. The pathogenesis of TRALI presumably involves leukocyte agglutination in pulmonary capillaries, which is triggered by donor PubMed ID:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26275694 antibodies against the recipient's human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and neutrophilspecific antigens (HNA). Multiparous females are often sensitized to HLA antigens, and the recent switch to the preferential use male donor plasma has significantly reduced the incidence of TRALI to 1:12,000 [22]. However, in the emergency setting, about 40 of AB plasma is still from female donors, and the risk of TRALI is presumably higher [23]. It is also common to use ABO-compatible plasma, which is not PubMed ID:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9144744 identical to the recipient's ABO group in the case of massive transfusion. In the retrospective matched cohort study of 568 trauma patients, the use of ABO-compatible plasma was dose-dependently associated with increased risks of acute respiratory distress syndrome and sepsis compared to the use of ABO-identical plasma [5]. Taken together, plasma transfusion should be implemented in the early phase of resuscitation for massive hemorrhage when bleeding sites are unknown, or no surgical control of bleeding has been achieved. Large volumes of required plasma (15?0 ml/kg) are usually tolerated because of hypovolemia due to hemorrhage. The risks of TRALI and other complications are theoretically increased after the exposure to multiple plasma units and donor antibodies. Newer commercial plasma products such as solvent-detergent plasma appear to have a minimal TRALI risk (i.e., anti-HLA/anti-granulocyte antibodies are significantly diluted by pooling of plasma from approximately 1,500 donors) [24], but it has not been widely used in the North America.ReviewLimitations of plasmaIn the USA, two types of plasma are generally used for transfusion: fresh frozen plasma (FFP; plasma frozen within 8 h) and frozen plasma (FP24; plasma frozen at 8?4 h after collection). Once thawed, FFP and FP24 can be kept in the refrigerator (1 ? ) for 5 days, which potentially reduces plasma wastage and increases the inventories of group AB (universal) or group A plasma for emergency transfusion [11]. Although this has become a standard practice at large tertiary care centers in the North America, thawed plasma products may not be an option in smaller hospitals [12] and in other countries (Japan, Germany, etc.) [13].
