If appropriate, add subsections for each indication. --&gt; ==<br /> Packed blood cells (pRBC) can be used to increase the body's oxygen carrying capacity in the setting of anemia or hemorrhagic shock. Transfusion is indicated in patients with HGB level &lt;7.0 g/dL. Some studies suggest transfusing to a HGB of 8.0 g/dL in patients with cardiac disease. Typically a unit of pRBC will increase an adult HGB level by 1 g/dL. <br /> <br /> == Contraindications&lt;!-- List contraindications and precautions for use of the drug. --&gt; ==<br /> <br /> === Absolute contraindications ===<br /> Patient refusal. Some patients have religious objections to receiving a blood transfusion. It is important to clarify which blood products patients accept before anesthetizing them. Some institutions may have patients sign a blood product refusal form as well.<br /> <br /> [[Special:Categories|Category]]<br /> <br /> === Precautions&lt;!-- List precautions for use of the drug. If none, this section may be removed. --&gt; ===<br /> Transfusing packed red blood cells may lead to a transfusion reaction. <br /> <br /> Hemolytic transfusion reactions can be divided into acute and delayed. Acute hemolytic transfusion reactions are due to ABO incompatibility. Delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions are due to alloantibodies to minor red blood cell antigens such as Rh, Kell, Kidd, and Duffy. <br /> <br /> Febrile transfusion reactions are due to antibodies formed against donor leukocytes.<br /> <br /> Anaphylactic transfusion reactions occur in recipients with IgA deficiency.<br /> <br /> Contaminated blood products can lead to bacterial or viral infection.<br /> <br /> Transfusion associated circulatory overload (TACO) and transfusion related acute lung injury (TRALI) are other possible reactions. <br /> <br /> == Pharmacology ==<br /> <br /> ==== Adverse effects&lt;!-- Describe any potential adverse effects of the drug. --&gt; ====<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> [[Category:Drug reference]]</div>

If appropriate, add subsections for each indication. --&gt; ==<br /> Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) can be used to increase clotting factors. This can be useful in the setting of liver disease, supratherapeutic warfarin levels, heparin resistance due to ATIII deficiency, or significant hemorrhage. FFP contains all numbered clotting factors in addition to albumin and immunoglobulins. On average, transfusing one unit of FFP will raise clotting factor levels by 10% in an adult. <br /> <br /> == Contraindications&lt;!-- List contraindications and precautions for use of the drug. --&gt; ==<br /> <br /> === Absolute contraindications&lt;!-- List absolute contraindications for use of the drug.
