Objective: The goal of this study was to determine of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusion indicators in emergency department.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was done in patients admitted to the emergency department of Rasoul Akram, Tehran, Iran for one year (September 2016 to 2017).
Findings: Seventy patients (47M/23F) were assessed with the mean age 57.96±18.22 years. Totally 294 units of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) were requested for patients and 93 units (31.64%) were used. The most indication for FFP unit request was acute and chronic anemia.
