Conditions

Pneumonia, Thrombocytopenia

Brief summary

The incidence of thrombocytopenia in ICU patients with severe illness ranged from 8.3% to 67.6%, and ranged from 14% to 44% during ICU treatment.Severe patients with thrombocytopenia also have significantly increased bleeding events and blood transfusions, and even a significantly increased risk of death.This study examines whether elevated platelets benefit patients with pneumonia

Interventions

The dose of rhTPO is 15,000 U per day. The subcutaneous injection will be terminated when PCs are increased to normal. The duration of rhTPO will be 7 days.

DRUGnormal saline

Patients in the control group will receive the same amount of saline as a placebo, which is injected subcutaneously. The duration of saline will be 7 days.
