Off-label use of 4F-PCC is likely common, occurring in nearly 40% of drug administrations at our center. Larger-scale prospective trials studying specific indications are needed for validation in off-label settings. Until such evidence is available, given potential harms historically displayed by off-label use of other hemostatic agents, limiting off-label 4F-PCC use is recommended.
