Buffy-coat-derived pooled platelet concentrates and apheresis platelet concentrates: which product type should be preferred?

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Repeated isometric muscle tension (applied tension) during blood donation reduces vasovagal symptoms in many donors. Experiencing vasovagal symptoms has been found to reduce blood donor return. However, does practicing applied tension improve blood donor return? Follow-up results from a random...
