Platelet Transfusion

This study aims to investigate the impact of platelet concentrate (PC) transfusions on endothelial function and the systemic inflammatory response in thrombopenic patients admitted to intensive care who require prophylactic platelet transfusions. Endothelial function will be measured using a laser Doppler device coupled with an acetylcholine iontophoresis system that is applied to the skin.

The goal of this single-center, non-controlled, non-randomized exploratory clinical trial is To develop and validate a clinical-biological score (VISCOTHEM score) incorporating viscoelastometric tests parameters; based on an association study, and to establish a threshold that enables the prediction of the immediate risk of bleeding in haematology patients with severe thrombocytopenia (\<20 G/L); with a view to selecting a population with a residual risk of bleeding of zero (NPV ≥ 95%, to achieve a residual probability of bleeding \< 5%). The score may incorporate variables identified in the literature as having a plausible causal relationship with the occurrence of bleeding (14,15), as well as viscoelastometric tests parameters, conventional haemostasis parameters and relevant clinical parameters. . Participants will undergo an additional blood sample to standard care. The total volume of blood drawn will be 21.1 mL. The following analyses will be performed: Quantra®, Rotem®, blood count, platelets, immature platelet count, plasma prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, International Normalized Ratio, fibrinogen, urea, creatinin, albumin.

The objective of the NeoPlaTT trial is to test whether, among extremely preterm infants born at 23 0/7 to 26 6/7 weeks' gestation, a lower platelet transfusion threshold, compared to a higher threshold, improves survival without major or severe bleeding up to 40 0/7 weeks' postmenstrual age (PMA).

* Overall objective: to accumulate further experience with the use of pathogen-reduced platelet concentrates throughout the entire process chain from manufacture to clinical use of pathogen-reduced platelet concentrates and their efficacy and safety under real-world conditions. The study aims to better understand the impact of pathogen inactivation on the various steps of the overall supply chain in routine practice, whereby safety, measured in terms of the frequency of serious transfusion reactions and the type, imputability, and outcome of the reactions, is the primary endpoint. * Study product: Pathogen-reduced platelet concentrates. * Methodology: multi-center, open-label, prospective, non-interventional safety study.
