Abstract
Platelet components are continuously agitated during storage to maintain platelet quality. During shipment, it is not practical to agitate platelets. Numerous studies have investigated the influence of various periods without agitation on the in vitro and in vivo properties of platelet products. This review will examine the outcomes of these studies and consider new developments in platelet storage which might improve platelet quality after interruptions of agitation which occur during platelet shipment.
