A: The infusion rate should not exceed 1 mL Octaplasma®/kg body weight/min which equates to 0.020-0.025 mmol citrate/kg body weight/min as high infusion rates may cause cardiovascular effects as a result of citrate toxicity (fall in ionised calcium), especially in patients with liver function disorders. Patients should be observed for at least 20 minutes after the administration.3
