Caitlin Raymond: Did You Know Kcentra Is Plasma-Derived?
Caitlin Raymond, Assistant Professor of Pathology and Transfusion Medicine at University of Wisconsin-Madison, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Did you know Kcentra is plasma-derived?
A lot of fellows don’t — until they’re standing at the bedside of a patient who has declined plasma and all its fractionations.
The bloodless surgery consult is one of the most underappreciated learning experiences in transfusion medicine fellowship. You walk in with a form. You leave with a much more granular understanding of what every blood product actually does, where it comes from, and what happens without it.
The form implies a binary: accept or reject.
Medicine rarely is. And while the form creates legal clarity, it doesn’t create clinical clarity. That’s your job.”
