SUMMARY
Freeze-dried plasma has logistical advantages in terms of storage and reconstitution time compared to fresh-frozen plasma. In vitro studies show freeze-dry plasma to be equivalent to fresh-frozen plasma regarding coagulation and clotting capacities. Freeze-dry plasma is used in an increasing number of countries, and has a logistical advantage in remote and urgent situations.
