Lower platelet transfusion threshold safe for central line placement, study suggests
NCT ID NCT06187831
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether it is safe to lower the number of platelets needed before placing a central line (a special IV) in patients with blood disorders. Normally, patients get a platelet transfusion if their count is below 50, but this study tested a lower trigger of 10. The goal was to see if this change led to more serious bleeding. The study included 927 adults in a hospital hematology ward.
