Platelet-dependent thrombography gives a distinct pattern of in vitro thrombin generation after surgery with cardio-pulmonary bypass: potential implications

Abstract: BackgroundBleeding remains a potentially lethal complication of cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery. The purpose of this study was to obtain a better insight into in vitro thrombin generation in the context of CPB.MethodsWe used Calibrated Automated Thrombography to assess blood coagulation of 10 low-risk patients operated for valve replacement with CPB, under 2 experimental conditions, one implicating platelets as platelet dysfunction has been described to occur during CPB.ResultsOur main finding was that C… Show more

“…The TF concentration in itself is also debatable. The concentration we utilized has been used in several studies [ 10 , 12 , 31 ] and our sampling took place after heparin reversal. In spite of randomization, the control group had somewhat longer CPB and clamp time.…”

“…Furthermore, an increase was observed in time parameters compared with the preoperative values and the control group. The findings indicated that platelet dysfunction worsened during CABG because of the following factors: Blood contact with the synthetic surfaces of the extracorporeal circuit, resulting in degranulated platelets after CPB [ 21 ]; The use of heparin, which inhibits thrombin activity and binds to antithrombin III, contributing to its inactivation, inhibition of thrombus formation, and development of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia [ 8, 15 ]; The use of protamine to neutralize heparin, which in a dose-dependent manner alters the structure of the fibrin clot, reducing platelet function and increasing the ACT [ 18 ]; Hemodilution coagulopathy [ 5 ], both due to mechanical blood dilution and the direct interaction of the molecules of colloid volume expanders with platelet membranes, causing the blockage of platelet fibrinogen receptors – GP IIb/IIIa [ 10, 11 ]; Hypothermia and acidosis, which leads to damages in the initial stages of thrombus formation (initiation phase) and clot formation (proliferation phase) [ 14 ]. …”
