ejection fraction the proportion of the volume of blood in the ventricles at the end of diastole that is ejected during systole; it is the stroke volume divided by the end-diastolic volume, often expressed as a percentage. It is normally 65 ± 8 per cent; lower values indicate ventricular dysfunction.

plasma protein fraction a preparation of serum albumin and globulin obtained by fractionating source blood, plasma, or serum from healthy human donors; used as a blood volume supporter.

plasma protein fraction

Therapeutics A blood product containing
≥ 83% albumin, which expands fluid volume without risk of hepatitis or HIV; PPF–or albumin replaces large losses of colloid–eg, hypovolemic shock, burns, retroperitoneal surgery. See Albumin.
