Preoperative Dual Antiplatelet Therapy: Platelet Function and Influence of Cardiopulmonary Bypass

March 26, 2018 updated by: Umeå University

Influence of Cardiopulmonary Bypass on Platelet Function in Patients With Preoperative Dual Antiplatelet Therapy:

Patients admitted for coronary artery bypass surgery taking antiplatelet medicine have an increased risk for bleeding.

Present study aims to compare the platelet function in two patient groups using different types of heart-lung machine methods.

It is assumed that one of the methods is superior verified by sensitive methods of testing platelet function.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Taking antiplatelet medication before cardiac surgery increases the risk for bleeding.

The surgical procedure and the use of a heart-lung machine may disturb the function of platelets, why measures to protect the existing function of platelets are of prime concern.

The present study aims to compare how two types of heart-lung machine methods influence platelet function in two groups of patients.

The platelet function will be tested before, during and after surgery by the use of two independent methods.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Assessment of platelet function following cardiopulmonary bypass using platelet aggregometry
Time Frame: Test of platelet function will be analysed on arrival to the operating room, post cardiopulmonary bypass and on day 1 in the intensive care unit based on the area under the curve depited from the two employed aggremometers
Included aggregometry tests: Multiplate and Rotem Platelet
Test of platelet function will be analysed on arrival to the operating room, post cardiopulmonary bypass and on day 1 in the intensive care unit based on the area under the curve depited from the two employed aggremometers

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Postoperative bleeding
Time Frame: Postoperative bleeding 24 hrs
Blood loss 24 hrs post surgery
Postoperative bleeding 24 hrs
