Dear Dr Singh Proposed guidelines for platelet transfusion for surgical adult or pediatric patient is if it is less than 50 x 109/L. Laparoscopic surgery or any invasive procedures such as lumbar puncture, epidural anaesthesia, liver biopsy, endoscopy with biopsy, placement of a central venous catheter we should not do without platelet transfusion if the platelet count is below 50x109/L. Here 109 means 10 is to the power 9. With regard Dr R K Mishra |

If we do INR test preoperative will it reflect the problem of thrombocytopenia due to Dengue or Chikungunya. |
