Abstract: Blood is taken using aseptic technique to be put into plastic bags containing anticoagulant in the amount of citrate, phosphate, dextrose (CPD). Red blood cells can be stored at 2-8°C for 35 days, depending on the preservative. During storage of red blood cells there is a decrease in 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3 DPG) but after transfusion the level of 2,3-DPG returns to normal within 24 hours. One type of blood is platelets. Platelets or blood platelets are one of the blood components that play a role in stopping bleeding from injured blood vessels. This study aims
to determine the description of the results of platelet count examinations in whole blood bags that are examined immediately, 5 days, and 10 days. This study is a descriptive study with a laboratory observation approach. This study was conducted at the Laboratory of H. Andi Sultan Daeng Radja Hospital, Bulukumba. The population in this study was part of the whole blood bags in the Blood Transfusion Unit of H. Andi Sulthan Dg Radja Hospital, the sample in this study was a sample of whole blood bags as many as 4 samples of blood bags A, B, O and AB. The samples were then examined based on the storage period which was examined immediately, 5 days and 10 days. This study shows that the number of platelets in the whole blood bags, namely in the first sample which was immediately examined the number of platelets (306 103 / mm3), 5 days (184 103 / mm3) and after 10 days (81 103 / mm3). the second sample which was immediately examined (195 103 / mm3), 5 days (88 103 / mm3) and after 10 days (66 103 / mm3). the third sample that was
immediately checked for platelet count (415 103/mm3), 5 days (170 103/mm3) and after 10 days (131 103/mm3). And the fourth sample that was immediately checked was (239 103/mm3), 5 days (116 103/mm3) and after 10 days of storage the platelet count was (86 103/mm3). From this study, it shows that the longer Whole Blood is stored, the more the platelet count in Whole Blood will decrease.
