It has been recommended that the donor population of pooled plasma not exceed five and that plasma be used only as an emergency measure. As a consequence, plasma is not used as extensively as before. This hazard of pooled plasma must be overcome if it is to be stockpiled and used for civilian defense.The purpose of this report is twofold: first, to call attention to the fact |
