Transfusions

Hi Wendy,
Unfortunately I have never asked about the needles but I know that they are special because I have a port. They give 2 units of prbc in four hours. I have got platelet transfusions twice and they used special needles because the platelets should be flushed - otherwise they coagulate.
Kind regards
Birgitta
