The infusion time should not exceed 4 hours. Platelets, plasma and cryoprecipitate generally are transfused at a rate of 10 ml per minute. In order for a patient to receive maximum benefit platelets need to be transfused rapidly to get control of bleeding.
-Infuse the blood slowly for the first 15 minutes of the transfusion.
