[HSF] blood product in open heart surgery

[erdinç naseri]

Dear Hal,
It may be suprising for you but the only blood product that we use are whole 
blood,rbc suspension and plasma.Even our platelets are random donor ones. ( 
not of much use).No hematologist in the hospital and the blood bank is just 
a room with 2 technicians and 2 centrifuge device  and a refrigrator.
