There are guidelines published by British Committee for Standards in Haematology. It says PICC insertions do not require platelet support or correction of clotting prior to insertion/removal. See the table on page 7. http://www.bcshguidelines.com/pdf/CVC_guidelines040107.pdf Dr. D. Kejariwal

What happens when they can not the get the blood platelets to come up even with treament?
platelet transfusions do not succeed in raising the platelet levels for long. Often people need platelet every 12 - 24 hrs if they are not making them on their own. The real issue is why are they not making platelet's and to try and get their body to do so. This is often seen with cancer and thrombocytopenia. The effect of low platelets is a risk of bleeding since platelet are an important clotting factor. Ive never been impressed with platelet transfusions they are not anywhere near as good as what a healthy body does naturally.

Platelet levels and alcohol abuse?
Blood platelet levels are sometimes seen in alcoholics and may be caused by an alcohol-induced enlarged spleen (splenomegaly), folate (one of the B vitamins) deficiency, but most frequently, a direct toxic effect of alcohol on production, survival time, and function of platelets. Platelet count begins to rise after 2 to 5 days' abstinence from alcohol. The alcohol-induced condition is generally reversible with abstinence, and clinically significant hemorrhage is rare.
