Multiplate may detect transfusion-related platelet dysfunction in CABG; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Can multiple electrode platelet aggregometry (multiplate) detect platelet dysfunction in patients undergoing routine coronary artery surgery?
Multiple electrode platelet aggregometry (multiplate) is a point-of-care analyzer capable of detecting platelet dysfunction during and after cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing coronary artery surgery.
