The infusion time should not exceed 4 hours. Platelets, plasma and cryoprecipitate generally are transfused at a rate of 10 ml per minute. In order for a patient to receive maximum benefit platelets need to be transfused rapidly to get control of bleeding.
Platelets that have been separated off will only keep for 5 days (must be kept at room temperature and agitated to keep them alive). Most blood transfusions (ie for anaemia or blood loss) are given as concentrated (packed) red cells.
