Journal ArticleDOI
Guidelines for the use of fresh-frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate and cryosupernatant.
D F O'Shaughnessy,C Atterbury,P. Bolton Maggs,Michael F. Murphy,Dafydd Thomas,S Yates,Lorna M. Williamson +6 more
TL;DR: Fresh‐frozen plasma (FFP), cryoprecipitate and cryosupernatant plasma are very limited and should not be used to reverse warfarin anticoagulation in the absence of severe bleeding, and PRP may be used as an alternative to FFP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guidelines on the management of massive blood loss
TL;DR: This guideline is to provide healthcare professionals with clear guidance on the management of massive blood loss and does not address the specific problems associated with major obstetric haemorrhage; these are being addressed by the Royal College of Obstetricians.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introduction of an algorithm for ROTEM-guided fibrinogen concentrate administration in major obstetric haemorrhage
TL;DR: Fibrinogen concentrate allows prompt correction of coagulation deficits associated with major obstetric haemorrhage, reducing the requirement for blood component therapy and the attendant risks of complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prothrombin complex concentrate in surgical patients: retrospective evaluation of vitamin K antagonist reversal and treatment of severe bleeding
TL;DR: Prothrombin complex concentrate application effectively reduced international normalized ratios in anticoagulation reversal, allowing surgical procedures and interventions without major bleeding, and in bleeding patients, the improvement in coagulation after prothromin complex concentrate administration was judged to be clinically significant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Guideline on the investigation and management of acute transfusion reactions. Prepared by the BCSH Blood Transfusion Task Force.
Hazel Tinegate,Janet Birchall,Alexandra Gray,Richard Haggas,Edwin Massey,Derek Norfolk,Deborah J. Pinchon,Carrock Sewell,Angus Wells,Shubha Allard +9 more
TL;DR: Although acute non‐haemolytic febrile or allergic reactions (ATRs) are a common complication of transfusion and often result in little or no morbidity, prompt recognition and management are essential.

Transfusion-transmitted infections: existing and emerging pathogens.
Paramjit Kaur,Sabita Basu +1 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive MEDLINE search and review of relevant transfusion medicine literature were carried out and the data extracted and studied with particular reference to emerging pathogens transmitted through blood transfusion and posing a huge threat.
