AB Fresh  frozen  plasma  (FFP)  is  available  in  units  of  approximately  200  mL.  FFP  contains  normal  levels  of  all  coagulation  factors  (about  1  unit/mL  of  each  factor).  FFP  is  used  to  correct  coagulation  factor  deficiencies  (such  as  in  liver  disease)  and  to  treat  thrombotic  thrombocytopenic  purpura  or  other  thrombotic  microangiopathies.  FFP  is  also  used  to  correct  or  prevent  coagulopathy  in  trauma  patients  receiving  massive  transfusion  of  packed  RBC  (PRBC).  An  FFP:PRBC  ratio  of  1:2  or  more  is  associated  with  improved  survival  in  trauma  patients  receiving  massive  transfusions,  regardless  of  the  presence  of  a  coagulopathy.
