Use of Low-Dose Platelets in Actively Bleeding Patients : A Retrospective Analysis of a Cardiac Surgery Cohort
These results suggest that low-dose platelets are tentatively equivalent to whole-dose platelets in cardiac surgery during shortages, with similar transfusion requirements and clinical outcomes between groups. Future multicenter studies are needed to confirm these findings.
