  3. 2. Evaluation of Correlation between Platelet Function in Platelet apheresis Donors and Function in Thrombapharesis Concentrates Measured with Impedance Aggregometry (Multiplate® Analyzer)

    University essay from

    Author : Linnea Jakobsson; [2014]
    Keywords : Adenosine diphosphate; thrombin receptor activating peptide; collagen; aggregability; platelet concentration;

    Abstract : Transfusion of platelet concentrates (PC) can be necessary for patients to maintain coagulability. It is vital that the platelets maintain viability and function during processing and storage to obtain enhanced coagulability in the transfused patient. Today, no test is used to verify platelet function in either donors or in PC’s. READ MORE

  4. 3. The effect of prophylactic platelet transfusions on point-of-care coagulation parameters in conjunction to central venous catheter insertion—what effect do transfusions have and are they necessary?

    Abstract : Introduction: Platelet transfusions are often used when thrombocytopenic patients are facing a central venous catheter (CVC) insertion, but their use has been up to debate. Point-of-care devices such as thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and platelet aggregometry (Multiplate) better reflect in vivo haemostasis than routine coagulation tests. READ MORE
