Program Description
This program will cover the most recent research developments and patient transfusion outcomes after expanding both storage temperatures and expirations for traditional platelet and cryoprecipitate products.

Learning Objectives
After participating in this educational activity, participants should be able to:

Describe the history of cryoprecipitate and platelet storage requirements.
Describe the reasons behind current storage requirements for cryoprecipitate and platelets.
Identify storage conditions which would augment platelet function, enable safety and prolongation of storage.
Identify how storage conditions for cryoprecipitate can be optimized to better ensure the supply of this component for its various indications of use.
