Re: FFP question
FFP has no cells--it's the noncellular component of blood,so no worry in that regard.
In nonemergent situations,FFP administration rate is 10ml/minute,so a 300-ml bag would go over a half hour. In an emergency,you can slam it in. In other cases,it is given as a continuous infusion,at say 50-150ml/hour. Very situationally dependent. Your blood bank should be able to provide you with more details and assistance,but a 300ml bag over an hour should be fine. You could also check with the MD about his/her preference for when the Furosemide is given--i.e. before,during or after the FFP.
