POC MEA may detect platelet dysfunction in cardiac surgery; hypothesis-generating for blood management optimization.
Does perioperative point-of-care platelet function testing predict postoperative blood loss in high-risk cardiac surgery patients?
Reduced ADP-induced platelet aggregation at baseline measured by point-of-care testing is associated with increased postoperative blood loss in high-risk cardiac surgery patients.
Vlot et al. (2018) studied this question.
