Prophylactic Platelet Transfusion

New England Journal of Medicine, 2013
To 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

Effects of platelet dysfunction and platelet transfusion on outcomes in traumatic brain injury patients

Brain Injury, 2018
Objective: Platelet inhibition in traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be due to injury or antiplatelet medication use pre-injury. This study aims to identify factors associated with increased platelet arachidonic acid (AA) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP ...
