Bruno Pougault : Refrigerated Platelets Could Transform Hemorrhage Management
Bruno Pougault, Global Marketing Hemostasis Product Manager at HORIBA ABX SAS, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Philip C. Spinella et al., published in JAMA, adding:
“Exciting news for the hemostasis and transfusion community!
A major study published in JAMA reveals that platelets refrigerated for up to 21 days are just as effective in managing hemorrhage as standard platelets stored at room temperature for up to 7 days.
- Outstanding science
- Better hemorrhage management
- Greater hospital efficiency
- Potentially meaningful cost savings
- Benefits for patients when it matters most
This is a powerful example of how evidence-based research can challenge long-standing practices and create new opportunities to improve care.
Congratulations to the University of Pittsburgh team for this remarkable contribution to transfusion medicine.”
