P > .05 for use of all blood components by patient group. The number of patients (n) is indicated by indication and treatment group.
Mean number ± SD of study FFP units transfused during the 7-day period of support. Volumes of PCT-FFP and C-FFP units were between 200 and 250 mL
Mean volume (liters) of study plasma transfused during 7-day period of support
Mean number ± SD of off-study FFP units transfused during the 7-day period of support
Mean number ± SD of units transfused. Platelet units were conventional adult doses containing at least 3.0 × 1011 platelets in 90% of doses
Mean ± SD units of cryoprecipitate where a unit is the amount prepared from 1 unit of FFP
