Sažetak
The educational effect on the use of vitamin K and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) for the treatment of coagulation disorders in patients with solid tumors was monitored. The use of FFP was reduced and that of vitamin K increased by 39% and 137.5%, respectively, without any evidence of consequent increase in patient bleeding. The ratio of FFP and vitamin K unwanted side effects and price was 30:0 and 50:1, respectively. The rational administration of both FFP and vitamin K is more efficacious and cost-effective than the use of FFP alone.
