Platelet usage during mechanical circulatory support is well described in the literature. However, there is a limited shelf life on platelets. Platelets were required on site when a patient is placed on mechanical circulatory support. We audited the amount of platelet returns in a tertiary referral center for mechanical circulatory support. The standard for platelet wastage was <12% of platelets used as determined by the excellence criteria by NHS Scotland.
