Platelet transfusion study for ICU patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This trial tests how a platelet transfusion affects blood vessel function in intensive care patients with low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia). It may help doctors understand if transfusions help the tiny blood vessels work better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are currently in the intensive care unit (ICU)
- You need a platelet transfusion to prevent bleeding because your platelet count is low
- You are enrolled in a social security program (like Medicare or Medicaid)
- You agree to participate in the study

This study is testing whether giving smaller volumes of platelet transfusions to premature babies with very low platelet counts is as effective as the standard larger volume. It aims to find a safer way to prevent bleeding while reducing risks like fluid overload.
This study looks at platelet transfusions—how they’re used and whether platelets function well—for people with blood cancers who have low platelet counts. It may help improve transfusion care for people who need platelet support.
This study uses a special blood test to create a score that predicts bleeding risk in patients with blood cancers and very low platelet counts. It could help doctors decide if you need extra care to prevent bleeding.
This study looks at the best way to decide when to give platelet transfusions to very premature babies. It aims to help prevent bleeding while avoiding unnecessary transfusions.
This study looks for markers in the blood that are linked to fatigue in people with low platelets. It compares patients who have low platelets from immune or inherited causes to healthy volunteers, to understand why some feel very tired.
This trial tests whether giving platelet transfusions to critically ill patients with very low platelet counts helps prevent bleeding. If you are in the ICU with low platelets and need life support, this study may be relevant to you.
