What is the difference between PCC and FEIBA (if there even is one)? All I can find is that FEIBA is an activated version of PCC? Can they both be used for Warfarin reversal?
 
FEIBA is made of already activated clotting factors whereas PCC is made of inactive clotting factors (they have to be activated in the patients body) so FEIBA will work faster. Yes they are both used for Warfarin reversal but i think according to FA warfarin overdose is treated with Vitamin K (non rapid reversal) and fresh frozen plasma (rapid reversal).
