Yes it is necessary.... and you might be Given SDP... This less platelet can lead to hemorrhage anywhere like lungs, heart, stomach. etc.. that can cause serious problems and even death..

It is matter of concern why your platelets are so low, it may be due to some serious cause, soo you need to be in ICU soo that they can monitor you very well.
