Safety of prothrombin complex concentrates for rapid Retrospective cohort studies by Hickey et al comparing the anticoagulation reversal effects of frozen plasma and Octaplex-PCC have reported that the administration of PCC reverses warfarin at a faster rate and demonstrates lower demand for red blood cell transfusion, and lesser adverse reactions than that noted with FFP treatment
