Abstract
Whole blood derived platelets can be pooled safely using closed system without altering the platelet quality in vitro as well as in vivo survival post transfusion. Pooled platelets can be a cost effective and safe alternative to thrombocytopenic patients whose transfusion requirements cannot be fulfilled with apheresis platelets alone.
