This article provides an update on the methods of collection, preservation, storage, and administration of platelet concentrates. The current indications for platelet transfusions are reviewed, and current knowledge concerning alloimmunization and its prevention is summarized. In addition, the ongoing controversies related to prophylactic administration of platelets versus therapeutic administration are reviewed.
