BACKGROUND Storage of platelets at 4 C compared with 22 C may increase both
hemostatic activity and storage duration; however, the maximum duration of cold storage is …

Background: Platelet transfusion is a potentially life-saving therapy for actively bleeding
patients, ranging from those undergoing planned surgical procedures to those suffering …

Background This pilot trial focused on feasibility and safety to provide preliminary data to
evaluate the hemostatic potential of cold-stored platelets (2° to 6° C) compared with …

Background Delayed cold storage of room temperature platelets may extend shelf life from 5
to 14 days. The study hypothesized that the use of delayed cold-stored platelets in cardiac …

Abstract Background and Objectives Platelets for transfusion have a shelf‐life of 7 days,
limiting availability and leading to wastage. Cryopreservation at− 80° C extends shelf‐life to …

Purpose Cold-stored platelets (CSP) are an increasingly active topic of international
research. They are maintained at 1–6° C, in contrast to standard room-temperature platelets …

BACKGROUND Cryopreservation extends platelet (PLT) shelf life from 5 to 7 days to 2 to 4
years. However, only 73 patients have been transfused cryopreserved PLTs in published …

Objective Dimethylsulfoxide-cryopreserved platelets are being evaluated for treatment of
acute hemorrhage in patients with thrombocytopenia or platelet dysfunction when liquid …

Introduction Platelets have a short shelf life and may be discarded due to expiry. Smaller
Australian hospitals often cannot justify keeping platelet units on‐site. Cryopreserved …

Platelets are critical in stopping hemorrhage as they treat the underlying coagulopathy and
improve patient outcomes. However, maintaining an adequate platelet supply is …
