Today I did an online tutorial with the West Midlands #haemSpRs. It was good to do some teaching after a bit of a hiatus! We've always done online tutorials on Whatsapp but videoconferencing was a win. #Covidsilverlinings

We talked about platelet refractoriness and its definition. Strictly this is by a recovery value or corrected count increment based on patient size and volume of platelets transfused, but practically we use the rise in platelet count measured within 24h of transfusion.
This should be checked twice, with ABO matched plt which are =< 3 days old. What increase in platelet count is deemed insufficient?
