How long can a patient survive if having to replace platelets twice a week or more or can they survive?
Patients requiring frequent platelet transfusions, such as twice a week or more, often have underlying conditions that affect platelet production or survival, such as bone marrow disorders or severe thrombocytopenia. Their survival can vary significantly based on the underlying cause, overall health, and response to treatment. While some patients might manage with regular transfusions for an extended period, others may face life-threatening complications. Close medical monitoring and additional treatments may be necessary to improve outcomes.

How platelets survive without nucleus?
Platelets are fragments of larger cells called megakaryocytes, which themselves possess a nucleus. Platelets lose their nucleus during the process of shedding from the megakaryocyte. Despite lacking a nucleus, platelets can still carry out their main function of aiding in blood clotting by releasing various proteins and forming a plug at the site of injury.

The probability that a patient recovers from a delicate heart operation is 0.9 what is the probability that exactly 5 of the next 7 patients having the operation survive?
C(7,2)*(.9)^5*(.1)^2, or about .124 = 12.4% For the desired outcome, considering the seven patients, you need: (Survive,Survive,Survive,Survive,Survive,Die,Die) (Survive,Survive,Survive,Survive,Die,Survive,Die) (Survive,Survive,Survive,Die,Survive,Survive,Die) . . . (Die,Die,Survive,Survive,Survive,Survive,Survive) There are C(7,2) [the number of combinations of 7 things taken 2 at a time] = 21 possible desired outcomes. The probability of each of these outcomes is (.9)*(.9)*(.9)*(.9)*(.9)*(.1)*(.1). Multiplying 21 by (.9)*(.9)*(.9)*(.9)*(.9)*(.1)*(.1) yields the answer.

What do you do to lower the platelet count?
It can be the common thing in cancer patients. It would be better for low platelet count patient to eat green vegetables and food which generates blood. If you infuse the platelet bag, then try to get the platelets of the same blood group. Like if your patient is having B+ blood, then donor should be having B+ blood. Try to infuse the platelet of family blood like if your father is suffering from this thing, then son should give platelets to him. That will definitely increase the time for next bag infusion.
