Effects of platelet dysfunction and platelet transfusion on outcomes in traumatic brain injury patients.

CONCLUSIONS: Mild TBI results in less ADP inhibition compared to moderate and severe TBI, suggesting a dose response relationship between TBI severity and degree of platelet dysfunction. Further, study is warranted to determine efficacy and parameters for platelet transfusion in patients with TBI. PMID: 30346865 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
