dried plasma (Velico)

Dried plasma is a biological blood product derived from human donor plasma that has been freeze-dried or spray-dried to allow for long-term storage at ambient temperatures. It is primarily used in emergency and prehospital settings for the treatment of massive hemorrhage and hemorrhagic shock. Upon reconstitution with sterile water, it provides essential coagulation factors to the patient, helping to prevent or treat trauma-induced coagulopathy and improve survival outcomes. The Västra Götaland Region is currently evaluating its efficacy in a Phase 4 clinical trial (NCT07012863) comparing it to standard crystalloid care in ambulance settings.
