How can I know if a patient got platelet, CRYOPRECIPITATE transfusion?

From https://github.com/MIT-LCP/mimic-code/pull/415, I got the code for platelet transfusion and from https://github.com/MIT-LCP/mimic-code/issues/253, I got the itemID for RBC transfusion.

I tried the following:
d_items[d_items['LABEL'].str.contains("CRYOPRECIPITATE")] and similarly for platelets. But I didnt get any results.

Research direction

Review the MIMIC online documentation and the referenced pull request #415 and issue #253 first. Then inspect the d_items lookup and transfusion-related item identifiers; done means documenting how to identify platelet and cryoprecipitate transfusions, including why the attempted label search returned no results.
