Transfusion packages containing cold-stored platelets may be able to restore the blood hemostatic profile of bleeding patients. In addition, transfusion packages made from CPs may provide additional benefit of resisting hyperfibrinolysis in bleeding patients. In trauma where post-transfusion platelet recovery is less of a concern, CPs are a viable option to restore hemostasis.
