Résumé / Abstract

Fifty-six charts of patients who received 307 units of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) were audited to determine the transfusion practice of this component at our 550-bed regional referral hospital. An educational program addressing appropriate use of FFP was initiated. Over the course of two years, FFP usage dropped by over 1,000 units annually (46%)
