Hi Donna,
Yes, we now always get PRBCs - when I was young many years ago a blood transfusion meant a transfusion of what now is called "whole blood".
You can count how many units of PRBCs you have received and how many platelets units.
I have got 142 units of PRBCs and 9 units of platelets (most of them in connection with small operations or BMBs).
Kind regards
