Blood Platelets and Platelet Transfusions
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1961The application of quantitative biological and biochemical methods to the study of the blood platelets has led to revolutionary developments in our understanding of these elusive structures. 1 Until recently platelets were often regarded as non-cellular in nature, although it has long been known that they are of cellular origin.

Prophylactic Platelet Transfusion
New England Journal of Medicine, 2013To the Editor: We recently reported on a trial1 that was similar to the Trial of Prophylactic Platelets (TOPPS) by Stanworth et al. (May 9 issue).2 TOPPS showed that a strategy of prophylactic platelet transfusion, as compared with a strategy of no prophylaxis, was marginally superior in preventing bleeding of World Health Organization (WHO) grade 2 or

Journal of Clinical Apheresis, 2001
AbstractThe relative merits of apheresis platelets and platelet concentrates are undergoing debate due to evolving issues of safety, inventory, and cost. The application of photochemical inactivation technology may eliminate any rationale for the use of apheresis platelets rather than pooled platelet concentrates, so that the relative merits of these ...

Overview of Platelet Transfusion
Seminars in Hematology, 2010Most platelet transfusions are given to prevent bleeding in thrombocytopenic patients undergoing chemotherapy for malignancy or hematopoietic stem cell transplant. In stable, uncomplicated patients the risk of bleeding is similar until the platelet count falls to

Platelet serology and transfusion
Human Pathology, 1983Various methods of detecting platelet antibodies have been developed relatively recently. This review describes assays in current use and their application to clinical practice, particularly in the management of alloimmunized recipients of platelet transfusions.

Trigger for Platelet Transfusion
Vox Sanguinis, 2000Background and Objectives:The terms ‘platelet transfusion trigger’ are used in the scientific literature to indicate a value of the platelet count above which prophylactic platelet transfusion is usually not indicated. Most clinicians share the currently prevalent consensus published in several guidelines that a platelet transfusion trigger of 10,000 ...

Although platelet transfusion is a vital part of modern hemotherapy, many related issues are unresolved. The most appropriate trigger point of transfusion and the clinical utility of prophylactic transfusion are still debated, but the importance of patient-specific transfusion decisions is clear.

Platelet Transfusions in Pediatrics
New England Journal of Medicine, 1957THE transfusion of fresh human platelets has been shown to be an effective and practical way to control the hemorrhagic episodes in thrombocytopenia.1 Recently a variety of technics have been devised for the preparation of platelet concentrates that permit prompt infusion of therapeutically effective amounts of platelets without the delay or ...
