All but approximately 50mL of plasma are expressed off to form the plasma concentrate. The remaining 50-mL is the newly formed platelet concentrate that contains approximately 5.5 to 7.0 x 1010 platelets. Each unit will increase the platelet count by an increment of approximately 10,000/?L, which is not sufficient to provide a significant platelet increment in the patient. Routine practice advocates the administration of 8 - 10 platelet concentrates that have been pooled. See similar questions...
