Efficacy of platelet transfusion in the management of acute subdural hematoma

The results of this study suggest that patients with non-surgical traumatic subdural hematomas on presentation are less likely to expand, however the risk of expansion is greater when the patient is on antiplatelet therapy. There is no clear benefit in the use of platelet transfusion as a reversal agent to mitigate the effects of antiplatelet therapy in the setting of non-surgical traumatic subdural hematomas.
