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.
Platelet Transfusion Rate. 0 I'm looking for some good resources on platelet administration, I think our policy needs to be revised, so I'd like to have some good resources to back up any suggestions. Our current policy states to give over 10 minutes. We have a pt. that has been getting frequent transfusions and had a reaction when it was infused over 10 minutes. There has been lots of debate over how rapidly they should be infused. I believe he's been getting them at 400 ml/hr.
