Blood transfusions are done to replace blood lost during surgery or due to a serious injury. A transfusion also may be done if your body can't make blood properly because of an illness. During a blood transfusion, a small needle is used to insert an IV line into one of your blood vessels. Through this line, you receive healthy blood. The procedure usually takes 1 to 4 hours, depending on how much blood you need. Blood transfusions are very common. Each year, almost 5 million Americans need a blood transfusion.
FFP can be given via your regular blood tubing, same size micron filter, but platelets require a special filter. Policy here for FFP; run in as fast as the patient will tolerate. Once FFP are picked up from blood bank, they can't be returned to blood bank after 20min. Also recommends the FFP be infused within 6 hours.
