Q: What is the rule to remember if blood type compatibility is done for plasma products?


Answer: 

Compatibility testing is not strictly necessary for plasma products like FFP or cryo-precipitate, but if possible, is given as ABO compatible. Rule to remember is - compatibility is reversed for plasma products, means O type is the universal plasma recipient and AB type is the universal plasma donor.
