Platelet Function in Recipients of Platelets from Donors Ingesting Aspirin

Abstract
The effect of fresh platelet transfusions from donors ingesting aspirin was evaluated in a group of thrombocytopenic recipients. Prolonged bleeding times were corrected to normal in recipients of platelets from donors who had taken aspirin 36 hours before donation, but not in those receiving platelets from donors who had taken aspirin within 12 hours of donation.
