    Author: Bierling P.
    Journal: Transfus Clin Biol; 2009 May; 16(2):190-4. PubMed ID: 19443251.
    Abstract:
    Although a number of research have been realized in the aim to rationalize the use of platelet concentrates, these blood products remain absolutely necessary for patients with therapeutic aplasia and for some surgical patients. We will discuss in this work: the main rules of platelet transfusion procedures, threshold values for platelet transfusion, platelet doses, place of curative and prophylactic strategies, refractoriness to platelet transfusion, HLA immunization.
