EFFECT OF CRYOPRESERVED PLATELETS TRANSFUSION ON 1560 PATIENTS / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

In this study, cryopreservated platelets were transfused to 1560 patients. of them, 536 were patients with acute leukaemia, 285 with anemia, 253 with thrombocytopenia due to chemical or radicalized treat, 438 in perioperation, and 48 with DIC or hemorrhage of rupture esophagus varix. The storage time of cryopreserved platelets ranged from one week to thirteen months. Most of the cryopreserved platelets had not been washed before application and no obvious adverse-effects were observed except for garlic smell in patients' exhalation after transfusing cryopreserved platelets. The results showed that transfusion of cryopreserved platelets has a remarkable on effect hemostasis and can enhance the platelet count in peripheral blood. Compared with liquid-preserved platelets, cryopreserved platelets for clinic use have the following advantages1) the potentiality of large stock, 2) much longer shelf life, 3) higher safety, 4) superior hemostasis effect, and 5) capacity to meet emergent massive clinic demand.
