ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To compare thawing times of fresh frozen canine plasma between a 37 °C warm water bath, running water bath and dry plasma thawer and compare haemostatic protein stability after thawing in a warm water bath or dry plasma thawer. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
To measure thawing times, a 240-mL bag of frozen plasma was thawed in warm water bath, running water bath or dry plasma thawer-10 times for each method. To evaluate stability of haemostatic proteins, fresh canine donor plasma samples were split into 120-mL bags and 3-mL control aliquots before freezing. Bags were thawed by warm water bath or dry plasma thawer and aliquots equilibrated to room temperature. Concentrations of haemostatic proteins, albumin, D-dimers, prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time were obtained.RESULTS:
The running water bath had the shortest thaw time median thaw time of 15 minutes versus 18 minutes for both the dry plasma thawer and warm water bath. Statistically significant differences in partial thromboplastin time, factor VII, factor X, von Willebrand factor, and von Willebrand factor collagen binding assay were detected among groups but were unlikely to be clinically relevant. CLINICALSIGNIFICANCE:
A traditional running water bath provided the fastest thawing time but the dry plasma thawer resulted in the most stable haemostatic proteins.
