Comparison of haemostatic function of PAS ‐C–platelets vs. plasma–platelets in reconstituted whole blood using impedance aggregometry and thromboelastography

ConclusionOur findings demonstrate that the function – aggregation and CD62P responsiveness – of PAS‐C–platelets in reconstituted whole blood is inferior to that of plasma–platelets, which may have implications in the setting of massive transfusions.
