IBCC chapter & cast: thrombocytopenia & HITT

January 31, 2019 by Josh Farkas 3 Comments

Thrombocytopenia is extremely common in critical illness.  It's generally a consequence rather than a cause of illness, predicting increased mortality.  However, we must remain alert for cases where serious hematologic disease is afoot.  The major concern here is the ever-looming possibility of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (HITT).  This chapter explores thrombocytopenia and provides an evidence-based framework for approaching HITT.

In your unit, what’s the most common transfusion threshold for platelet transfusion? Let’s say for example, in a patient recovering from stem cell transplantation?

50k for bleeding, 10k for all others. If NSG, whatever fairytale number they make up.

We are lucky enough to have Rotem in some of our units. If available, and in the right context, I’d follow the extem for these patients.
