to give it so bacteria doesn’t grow. So it doesn’t necessarily have to be right away.)
Transfuse the plasma over 4 hour (Can be in 2 to 4 hours)
Hold the transfusion if the client is actively bleeding (YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT. That’s the whole point!
The patient is losing blood so you have to replace it. We give fresh frozen plasma because he or she
may have clotting deficiencies)
Administer the transfusion through a 24 gauge saline lock (Has to be a 18 or 20 gauge)
