Key Points about Platelet Transfusion
- Definition: Platelet transfusion is the infusion of platelet concentrates to prevent or treat bleeding in patients with thrombocytopaenia or platelet dysfunction.
- Indications: Common indications include active bleeding due to low platelet count, prevention of bleeding in high-risk procedures, or as part of supportive care in chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopaenia.
- Procedure: Platelet transfusions are typically administered intravenously, and the dose is calculated based on the patient’s weight and clinical condition.
- Management: Close monitoring for transfusion reactions, such as fever, allergic reactions, or transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), is critical.
- Complications: Potential complications include alloimmunisation, infection transmission, and febrile non-haemolytic transfusion reactions.
