Frozen Plasma

A reader commented:"In the October issue of PIR(3:121, 1981), in "Necrotizing Entercolitis" Burg and Polin recommend partial exchange transfusion for high hematocrit, using normal saline. I was taught to use fresh frozen plasma or albumin for partial exchanges. What are the advantages, if any, of isotonic saline over plasma or albumin?" Drs Burg and Polin reply: "Although, theoretical arguments can be made for use of fresh frozen plasma to reduce the hematocrit, either saline, synthetic plasma expanders, or 5% albumin would be suitable. Much of the albumin given in plasma or synthetic solutions quickly leaks out of the newborn infant's intravascular compartment. The purpose of a partial exchange transfusion in neonatal polycythemia is to lower the hematocrit and lessen the hyperviscosity; it is not to replace coagulation or immune factors or remove toxins. Saline would be just as satisfactory as plasma for this purpose."

Plasma Expanders

A degree of traumatic shock was produced in rats by the removal of metal clamps which had been applied to both hind limbs for a period of 10 hr. This was lethal within 24 hr. to all animals not receiving fluid therapy. The infusion of plasma expanders delayed or prevented the development of irreversible shock. All fluid therapy relieved the oliguria produced by the shock although this relief generally occurred 24 hr. after the release of the clamps. The plasma expander which best promoted survival was the Connaught dextran 13-1, a solution with an intrinsic viscosity of 0.34 (mean mol. wt. 150,000). Survival with the dextran solutions was increased with increasing molecular weights of the dextrans. This seemed to be related to the retention of the larger molecules for a longer period of time within the body.
