“Blood And Blood Products Explained, Essential Uses Every MLS Should Know.
Blood products are separated into different components because each patient needs specific treatment.
PRBCs increase oxygen carrying capacity in anemia and bleeding.
Platelets help prevent bleeding in thrombocytopenia and dengue patients.
Fresh Frozen Plasma provides clotting factors during coagulation disorders and massive hemorrhage.
Cryoprecipitate supplies fibrinogen for severe bleeding management.
Albumin maintains oncotic pressure in burns and shock patients.
Immunoglobulins provide passive immunity in immune deficiencies and infections.
Understanding blood components helps improve safe transfusion practices and patient care in the laboratory and hospital setting.”
