Platelet Transfusion: A Clinical Practice Guideline From the AABB

Richard M. Kaufman, Benjamin Djulbegović, Terry Gernsheimer, Steven Kleinman et al.

Short summary

The AABB recommends prophylactic platelet transfusions for hospitalized adults with therapy-induced hypoproliferative thrombocytopenia and platelet counts ≤ 10 × 10^9 cells/L, using up to a single apheresis unit or equivalent, as greater doses are not more effective and lower doses are equally effective.
