Every minute counts: A comparison of thawing times and haemostatic quality of plasma thawed at 37°C and 45°C using four different methods.

PTV was the quickest method at thawing plasma at both 37 and at 45°C. The haemostatic quality of plasma thawed at 45 versus 37°C was not impaired. Thawing frozen plasma at 45°C should be considered.
