Frequency of platelet transfusion

Hi,

What should be the cretieria for platelet transfusion ? Different doctors have different opinion. Some advise transfusion at 20000 or even at 30000 counts. (though knowing the counts itself is a big headache as different labs shows different readings for the same sample).
