Summary

This study tested whether frozen platelets work as well as standard liquid platelets to control bleeding in 161 adults having heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. The goal was to see if the frozen version is a safe and effective option. The trial compared the amount of blood lost through chest drains after surgery between the two groups.
