When is plasma indicated?
Major trauma is a clear indiction.
But use in prophylactic head injuries seems to worsen development of lesions
Use of plasma products in children is associated with multiorgan dysfunction - do you really need to give this?

You can see some children given just to correct INR - not that big a change obtained overall, but the higher the INR at transfusion the bigger the effect.
