Abstract
Abstract:
The use of FFP in neonatology should be primarily for neonates with active bleeding and associated coagulopathy. However, since there is limited and poor-quality evidence supporting neo-natal FFP transfusion, considerable FFP usage continues to be outside of this recommendation, as documented by neonatal transfusion audits. This review updates the scientific evidence available on FFP use in neonatology and reports the best evidence-practice for the safety of neonates receiving FFP.
