    FFP and cryoprecipitate donor units should match the recipient's ABO-Rh type to avoid hemolytic transfusion reactions. O type is acceptable for O recipients, while type-specific is preferred but A, B, or AB type can be used for non-O recipients in emergencies. Cryoprecipitate is an exception since only a small plasma volume is administered, so all ABO types are acceptable. Proper documentation is required when switching donor unit types.

    SELECTION OF FFP AND CRYOPRECIPITATE DONOR UNITS

    1. Appropriate components for transfusion based on patient


    ABO-Rh and antibody history.

    FFP or Cryo- O O ABAB Should be
    depleted A A AB compatible

    AB AB NONE, *A in recipient’s
    emergent red blood

    2. Plasma products (FFP, cryodepleted plasma) containing


    signi cant amounts of incompatible ABO antibodies must be
    compatible with recipient’s red blood cells.

    3. In cryoprecipitates since a small volume of plasma is


    administered all ABO group are acceptable.

    4. When switching, inform primary nurse or shift lead nurse and


    note in laboratory information system (LIS). Record the nurse’s

    complete name, employee ID number, time, date and include
    your initials as the caller.
