Low-dose protamine based on heparin-protamine titration method reduces platelet dysfunction after cardiopulmonary bypass

Abstract: Low-dose administration of protamine, based on a heparin-protamine titration method, restores not only the blood coagulation but also the platelet responses to thrombin and attenuates platelet alpha-granule secretion during heparin neutralization. Overdose of protamine activates platelets and may predispose patients to excessive bleeding after cardiac surgery.

“…This acute heparin‐like anticoagulant activity is well known, and multiple points along the coagulation cascade are suspected targets;39 in the aPTT assay, thrombin inhibition is the likely mechanism 40. The clinical consequence of administering protamine to parients is careful titration and constant adjustment of the heparin/protamine ratio 41. Such complications are not specific to protamine, but instead appear to be a general feature of cationic polymers 42.…”

“…Aziza et al performed a review of the literature and selected 14 papers: the studies selected did not show any differences concerning postoperative bleeding, but did have numerous biases 8 . Indeed, the studies of Yamanishi et al 11 , Sakurada et al 12 , and Shigeta et al 13 , only included a small number of patients; 32, 34 and 34, respectively. Those small cohorts did not allow for the finding of a significant difference.…”
