Introduction: The use of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) at the hospital level has increased in recent years. Studies indicate that its unjustified use is still frequent in clinical practice, exposing recipients to risks associated with transfusion. Objective: To determine the frequency of inappropriate prescription of FFP in patients in a general hospital. Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional study. We reviewed 374 transfusion requests from hospitalized patients attended and received at the Hemotherapy Service and Blood Bank of the Cayetano Heredia National Hospital in Lima, Peru during the months of August and December 2023. The prescription was assessed as adequate or inadequate according to the transfusion recommendations of the service itself. Descriptive statistics were used to present the study data. Results: It was observed that 59.6% of prescriptions were inadequate. The most frequent pre-transfusion diagnosis was surgical procedures (21.7%). The indication of coagulopathy and procedure had 82.4% of inappropriate use, while the most frequent inappropriate indications were incorrect dose (36.1%) and no evidence of coagulopathy (32%). There were 67.9% of FFP units that were not used. Conclusions: There is a high frequency of inappropriate use of FFP and this is observed in the different hospital areas. It is necessary to improve transfusion practice through greater supervision and more responsibility on the part of the medical staff and the Hemotherapy service.
