European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Central venous catheters (CVCs) are essential in pediatric hematology‐oncology, for the administration of chemotherapy and supportive therapy. Thrombocytopenia increases the risk of bleeding and current guidelines recommend prophylactic platelet transfusions below 40–50 × 109/L, though evidence is limited and transfusions entail ...
