Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Infusing fresh frozen plasma is the best choice for a person with haemophilia who is admitted with acute bleeding. Fresh frozen plasma contains clotting factors that are deficient in individuals with haemophilia and can help stop bleeding. Infusing heparin or Hartman's solution would increase the risk of bleeding. Infusing whole blood may not be necessary and could increase the risk of complications such as fluid overload.
