“…4,5,22 Resuspending PLTs stored in 100 percent plasma by autologous plasma stored separately may improve aggregation response, 22,38,55,73 indicating that reduced PLT aggregation during storage may improve in vivo after transfusion. 74 In PCs with low plasma content, however, PLT aggregation responses are severely diminished and only partly recover in the presence of full plasma or blood. 73 In our study we chose not to introduce additional influence on aggregation results by mechanical stress to PLTs in centrifugation, washing, and resuspending in plasma.…”
