Temperature cycling during platelet cold storage improves in vivo recovery and survival in healthy volunteers

Abstract

Room temperature (RT) storage of platelets (PLTs) can support bacterial proliferation in contaminated units, which can lead to transfusion‐transmitted septic reactions. Cold temperature storage of PLTs could reduce bacterial proliferation but cold exposure produces activation‐like changes in PLTs and leads to their rapid clearance from circulation. Cold‐induced changes are reversible by warming and periodic rewarming during cold storage (temperature cycling [TC]) has been proposed to alleviate cold‐induced reduction in PLT circulation.
