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.
Rate: Platelet transfusion must be completed within 4 hours of spiking pack.
