pooled plasma

    0.01 sec.
pooled plasma
Etymology: AS, pol + Gk, plasma, something formed
a liquid component of whole blood, collected and pooled to prepare various plasma products or to use directly as a plasma expander when whole blood is unavailable or is contraindicated. It is useful in surgery and the treatment of hypovolemia because of its stability and availability in freeze-dried form. It is collected from blood banks or prepared directly from donors by plasmapheresis. It is thin and colorless or slightly yellow. Of the total volume of normal blood, 55% to 65% is plasma. See also bank blood, component therapy, packed cells.
