Other transfusable plasma is identical except that the coagulation factors are no longer considered completely viable.

Blood substitutes can be stored for much longer than transfusable blood, and can be kept at room temperature.

The Blood Alliance provides all the transfusable blood products to the local hospitals of northeast Florida and select areas of Georgia and South Carolina.

Even though there wasn't enough transfusable blood to make the procedure viable, Bashir resumed work, completing his sutures on the superior vena cava, and finding an intact section of the inferior vena cava for the third and final infuser line.
