Thrombocytopenia is a puzzling, yet common problem in the ambulatory setting, on the wards and certainly in critically ill patients! Having an understanding of why it matters, why it can happen and what we should do about it, is of paramount importance to you if you are committed to excellent patient care.
Given that patient care is first and foremost for us at Critical Care Time, we’ve teamed up - once again - with hematologist extraordinaire Matthew Rendo (X: RendOncology) to help us develop a pragmatic approach to managing the patient with thrombocytopenia.
Please give it a listen and let us know what you think!
