Implementing Pathogen Inactivation Technologies: In Search of Safer Platelet Transfusions James P. AuBuchon, MD, FCAP, FRCP(Edin) Pathogen inactivation technologies have the potential to radically alter our approach to providing safe transfusions, but their practical application to create pathogen-reduced blood components raises a variety of questions and poses considerable challenges. Although the treatments result in reduced platelet recovery, the probability of significant bleeding after transfusion parallels untreated platelets. Explaining this to clinicians may require detailed interactions. The value of directly attacking the residual risk of bacterial contamination as well as that of current and future viral and other pathogens threats are highly coveted, of course, but dealing with the economics of the implementation will require multifaceted approaches.
