Abstract
Background: A variety of plasma products are commercially available for veterinary use in the UK. These products have a wide array of beneficial properties and can be considered for use in multiple clinical scenarios. Although a large proportion of the available information surrounding their use is gathered from human scientific data, recent veterinary studies have provided new evidence for their safe administration in veterinary patients.
Aim of the article: This article provides a detailed view of fresh frozen plasma and offers readers an easy-to-digest guide on how to use it in practice. It describes some of the recent evidence supporting fresh frozen plasma use, allowing readers to evaluate whether administration is indicated in their patients. Finally, the article briefly summarises other plasma products available for veterinary use in the UK.
