The heterologous blood product donor exposures descriptive statistics for 13 TAH patients during the first 2 weeks of implantation. Platelets are pooled apheresed units about 250 mL. Cryoprecipitate is about 60–70 mL per unit. Albumin is reported as gm/kg administered. Cell process is the volume of autologous red cells per kg transfused on the first implant day. FFP, fresh frozen plasma.
