One size doesn’t fit all: Should we reconsider the introduction of cold-stored platelets in blood bank inventories?

چکیده
Platelet concentrates are universally prepared with a standard method and stored for 5 days at room temperature (20-24°C) in gentle agitation. Currently, there is a renewed interest in the possibility of storing platelet concentrates below the standard temperatures. In fact, cold platelets might be more effective in bleeding patients and have a lower risk of bacterial transmission. Inventories including platelets at different temperatures may favour patient-centred strategies for prophylactic or therapeutic transfusions.

This review is a synopsis of the decisions that shaped global policy on platelet (PLT) storage temperature and a focused appraisal of the literature on which those discussions were based. We hypothesize that choices were centered on optimization of preventive PLT transfusion strategies, possibly to the detriment of the therapeutic needs of acutely bleeding patients. Refrigerated PLTs are a bett...

Background and purpose: Cold storage results in clustering of gpIbα molecules on platelets. Consequently, the lectin domains of αMβ2 receptors on the liver macrophages recognize these molecules and ingest the platelets. Probably coverage of sugar molecules of gpIbα using galactose could prevent the recognition and ingestion of platelets by macrophages. The purpose of this study therby was to...
