Purpose

A phase 3 randomized partial blind storage duration ranging study in patients undergoing complex cardiac surgery that will compare the transfusion of cold stored platelets to standard room temperature stored platelets. The primary objective is to establish that cold stored platelets have a non-inferiority (or superiority) to room temperature platelets.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Viable neonates ≥ 3 kg at time of enrollment (as defined in Section 4.1) OR age greater than 28 days and less than 85 years of age at time of consent; AND - Planned complex cardiac surgery with planned use of cardiopulmonary bypass, with an expectation of bleeding requiring platelet transfusion.

Exclusion Criteria
