Frequently asked questions
Platelet transfusion – dose and CCI: What does this calculator compute?
Calculates the platelet concentrate volume according to BSH 2016 (10–20 ml/kg in children under 15 kg, from 15 kg an apheresis concentrate) with infusion rate and optionally the corrected count increment (CCI = increment × body surface area / dose ×10¹¹) to detect refractoriness (< 7 500 after 1 h, < 4 500 after 20 h; German Medical Association 2020).
