13 Recommendations: 1. Prophylactic platelet transfusion for platelet 10,000/µl 2. Prophylactic platelet transfusion for central venous catheter placement for platelet <20,000/µl 3. Prophylactic platelet transfusion for lumbar puncture platelet <50,000/µl 4. Prophylactic platelet transfusion for major nonneuraxial surgery platelet <50.000/µl Guidelines address stable but not Bleeding patients Ann Intern Med. 2015;162(3):

14 UPDATES Platelet transfusion versus standard care after acute stroke due to spontaneous cerebral haemorrhage associated with antiplatelet therapy (PATCH): a randomised, open-label, phase 3 trial Demonstrated that platelet transfusion seems inferior to standard care for patients on antiplatelet therapy before intracerebral hemorrhage Thus, platelet transfusions may not recommended for this indication. ASCO Clinical Practice Guideline Update No prophylactic platelet transfusions in adult recipients of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or patients with chronic, stable, severe thrombocytopenia who are not receiving active treatment Lancet. 2016;387(10038): J Clin Oncol. 2018;36(3):

19 P<0.01 P<0.01 P< HLA-antibody screen positive PAS-C (3/50 products) compared to plasma platelets (2/50 products); HLA-antibody screen-positive supernatants of PAS-C platelets had fewer HLA specificities (2 specificities) compared to those of the plasma platelets (18 specificities).

20 REFRIGERATED PLATELETS- FDA APPROVAL To store apheresis platelets at refrigerator temperature (1-6⁰C) without agitation for up to 3 days. The cold stored platelets will only be used in the resuscitation of actively bleeding patients. CS-PLTs have been used for trauma patients at our facility since October As of August 2016, a total of 21 (19.1%) of 119 CS-PLTs have been transfused. The short 3-day storage period combined with the formation of clots in plasma-rich CS-PLTs during storage have been the major causes of a high (80.9%) discard rate. Transfusion. 2017;57(12):

25 In people with hematological or oncological disorders who are thrombocytopenic: Very uncertain as to whether PR platelets increase the risk of any bleeding No evidence of difference between PR and standard platelets in incidence of clinically significant bleeding complications Probably no difference in risk of developing severe bleeding Probably no difference in incidence of all-cause mortality Probably no difference in incidence of serious adverse events (no bacterial transfusion-transmission) Increased risk of developing platelet refractoriness with PR platelets Received more platelets, shorter time interval between transfusions, and lower corrected count increment with PR platelets Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2017:CD

26 ADDITIONAL STUDIES Evaluation of the Efficacy of Platelets Treated with Pathogen Reduction Process (Effipap) trial in France In this multicenter, 3-arm RCT that analyzed 790 patients with thrombocytopenia and malignant hematologic diseases, bleeding of grade 2 occurred in 47.9%of patients receiving PR (amotosalen-uv-a) PAS platelets, 43.5%of patients receiving plasma platelets, and 45.3%of patients receiving PAS platelets. With a prespecified margin of 12.5%, noninferiority of PR platelets was not achieved when compared with untreated plasma platelets but was achieved when compared with untreated PAS platelets. No difference with grade 3 or 4 bleeding. RCT evaluating clinical effects of platelet transfusion products: the Pathogen Reduction Evaluation and Predictive Analytical Rating Score (PREPAReS) trial RCT compared Mirasol treated platelets versus standard plasma platelets demonstrated no difference in preventing bleeding or developing HLA class I alloantibodies. PR platelets resulted in 50% lower CCI resulting in more frequent transfusions and increased platelet refractoriness.

27 PLATELETS SUMMARY PR is now available in the United States Clinical efficacy of INTERCEPT platelets is non-inferior to conventional platelets CCI is lower, platelet refractoriness is more common, increase use of platelets PR represents a new paradigm in addressing transfusion transmitted infections Await future studies and improvements in current technology Ability to match product to patient Platelets in plasma for trauma patient In future cold stored platelets for trauma or massive hemorrhage Platelets in PAS for patients with history of allergic reactions Platelets in PAS for ABO incompatible transfusions

28 AABB PLASMA GUIDELINES 2010 Recommending plasma transfusion to trauma patients requiring massive transfusion (moderate quality evidence). No recommendation for the ratio of plasma:rbc in these patients (low quality evidence). No recommendation for the use of plasma in patients undergoing surgery without massive transfusion (very low quality evidence). Plasma suggested for patients with warfarin related intracranial hemorrhage (low quality evidence). No recommendation for plasma transfusion for warfarin reversal without intracranial hemorrhage (very low quality evidence). No recommendation for plasma transfusion in acute pancreatitis, organophosphate poisoning, coagulopathy associated with acetaminophen overdose, intracranial hemorrhage after severe closed head injury without coagulopathy Use in plasma exchange for thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura missing Transfusion. 2010;50(6):

45 WHOLE BLOOD Military using fresh whole blood (walking donors) to provide a source of platelets Use of whole blood in civilian trauma patients and pediatric cardiac surgery In the era of 1:1:1 plasma:platelet:rbc transfusion for massive hemorrhage, whole blood provide this balanced resuscitation without the extra fluid Being provided as cold stored, low titer group O whole blood Ease of use for technologists, nurses, and other staff

46 MASSIVE HEMORRHAGE Insufficient basis to recommend the higher transfusion ratio Early use of tranexamic acid, which reduced mortality in bleeding trauma patients Potential use of whole blood versus component therapy Prehospital blood administration Integration of thromboelastography to optimize blood component utilization Use of clotting factor concentrates (e.g., prothrombin complex concentrate and fibrinogen concentrate)

47 PLASMA SUMMARY Group A plasma for emergency use Until lyophilized or spray-dried approved Available for ambulances SD plasma in patients With history of allergic reactions For thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura patients For patient at risk for TRALI Four factor prothrombin complex concentrates Patients on warfarin needing emergency reversal

48 CONCLUSION Blood is safe and blood saves lives Cool innovation is happening, we need to be able to fund it, pilot it and advance it Blood is not one size fits all- we have the ability to optimize each and every transfusion by matching the product to the patient
