WASTED Plasma After A Trauma 🥲😭 😥It is unfortunate, but it happens from time to time. Some facilities that plasma (featured in this video), and it only lasts for 24 hours! Whereas some facilities have plasma that lasts 5 days. It all depends on what is validated in that particular Blood Bank. We typically store plasma in a frozen state 🥶because the shelf life is longer that way. The factors contained in the plasma degrade very rapidly when stored at refrigerated temperatures. When we thaw the plasma, it's best that the patient gets transfused as soon as possible because the factors are fresh and ready to do their job! 🤓 Plasma costs Blood banks about $60-80 per bag, which is quite cheap in comparison to a special unit of platelets that can run upwards of $1,000 per bag. 🤯🤯🤯 Join my community on Skool to learn how to effectively study for and PASS your ASCP exam! 😝😈🥼 📚🧪🧫🦠🔬 #healthcare #medicine #medtech #medicalhumor #medicaltechnologist #doctor #wellness #healthcareworker #microbiology #scienceexperiments #laboratory #laboratorio #immunology #biology #chemistry #hematology #biochemistry #bacterialvaginosis #yeastinfection #stdtesting #microscope #nurse #trendingnow #explorepage #bloodbath #donateblood #waste
