There is no evidence that such a transfusion would provide benefit and substantial evidence of potential harm. Many guidelines past and present would advocate for Transfusion. Those guidelines have no evidence to support them.

A blood donor donates platelets by apheresis (PLT-APH) requiring ~90 min at an apheresis instrument and a total of ~120 min turnaround time at the blood center. Is there an acceptable amount of reimbursement (not necessarily payment) to recruit PLT-APH donors?
54%No! No money at all.
11%Documented expenses.
10%A nominal amount is ok.
24%A payment is appropriate.
