Plasma Transfusions

Plasma transfusions involve giving a patient a component of blood called plasma, which is the yellowish liquid that makes up about 55% of blood. Plasma contains water, proteins, electrolytes, and hormones, and is crucial for blood clotting and immune function. This transfusion is often used for patients with certain medical conditions, such as severe liver disease, bleeding disorders, or during major surgeries, to help restore blood volume and function. The procedure is similar to other blood transfusions and is conducted in a controlled medical setting to ensure safety and effectiveness.
