Plasma transfusion
Plasma transfusion involves giving a patient with blood clotting issues or conditions losing blood plasma, which is the liquid part of blood that contains important proteins, antibodies, and other substances. The goal is to replace lost or deficient plasma to help with bleeding, infection, or immune problems. It is typically made from donated blood that has been separated, and it can quickly restore the blood’s ability to clot and fight infections. This procedure is common in trauma, surgery, or certain medical conditions requiring restoration of blood components to maintain health and stability.
