TRANSFUSION SERVICES (BLOOD BANK)

Platelet pheresis is an effective way to harvest a therapeutic adult dose of platelets from one individual donor. Platelet pheresis should contain 3x1011 platelets, and the plasma volume will vary between 200 and 500 ml. If approved by the Blood Bank Medical Director, six random donor platelet concentrates may be pooled for transfusion. ................
