However, given shortages of blood products, the use of whole blood transfusions is not realistic. The use of component product transfusion is the mainstay of blood banking and transfusion practice, effectively utilizing a scare resource while matching the components transfused to the specific needs of the patient. Whole blood is usually separated into packed red blood cells (PRBC), fresh frozen plasma (FFP), and platelet concentrate soon after donation. The plasma can be further separated into cryoprecipitate, cryo-poor plasma, or undergo further fractionation to individual plasma proteins.
