Pressure-aided transfusion of platelets: does it affect the platelets
Transfusion, 10/01/09
Fischer–Nielsen A et al. – In this study, use of a pressure inducer decreased the transfusion time of in vitro PLT transfusion by approximately 50%. No or only minor and inconsistent changes of the PLT number and function were observed. Consequently, this study indicates that pressure infusers could be used for transfusion of PLTs if clinically indicated, that is, in massively bleeding patients. However, in vivo studies to assess the safety and utility of pressure–aided PLT transfusion are warranted.
