A patient has Hemoglobin of 6gm%. Which of the following should not be administered?
Fresh frozen plasma should be avoided in such a situation, because FFP does not contribute in any way to increase the oxygen carrying capacity of blood. On the other hand, it will cause further dilution of the already dangerously less hemoglobin, thus further reducing the oxygen carrying capacity of blood. Thus, FFP should be the answer.
Fresh frozen plasma
Whole blood
Random donor platelets
Packed red cells
