Goal-orientated Therapy of Perioperative Disturbance in Hemostasis in Cardiac Surgery

January 10, 2013 updated by: Daniel Bolliger, University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland

Goal-orientated Therapy of Perioperative Disturbance in Hemostasis With MULTIPLATE and ROTEM in Cardiac Surgery Patients Under Platelets Inhibitors

Aim of this study is to investigate whether patients preoperatively treated with acetylsalicylic acid and/or clopidogrel have fewer perioperative bleeding and lower amounts of blood substitution when managed by ROTEM (whole blood coagulation analyzer) and MULTIPLATE (thrombocyte function analyzer).

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Point-of-Care managed
This arm includes all patients in which the hemostatic therapy is guided by POC devices e.g. MULTIPLATE (a platelet function analyzer) or ROTEM (thromboelastometry)
Conventional hemostasis lab managed
This arm includes all patients in which the hemostatic therapy is guided by conventional hemostasis laboratory data e.g. INR, aPTT, fibrinogen concentration, platelet count but no POC devices e.g. MULTIPLATE (a platelet function analyzer) or ROTEM (thromboelastometry)
