Platelet Transfusion Thresholds
most if not all of the following thresholds are based on weak recommendations with low quality evidence[1]
- <50K if planned lumbar puncture or neurosurgical procedure[2]
- <20K if planned for central venous catheter placement (preference toward compressible site), or febrile patient
- <10K in asymptomatic patients (unless due to ITP, TTP, or HIT)
There are no firm recommendations for transfusion thresholds in acute traumatic bleeding but many providers will opt for a goal of 100K, especially if there is evidence of ICH
