Supports propofol use without platelet-related bleeding concern in abdominal surgery; leaves open randomized confirmation of hemostatic outcomes.
Does propofol affect platelet aggregation in patients undergoing abdominal surgery?
Propofol at standard induction doses does not impair platelet aggregation, suggesting it does not increase bleeding risk related to platelet dysfunction during surgery.
Türkan et al. (1996) studied this question.
