Guides individualized cardiac surgery timing and transfusion decisions after P2Y12 inhibitors; extends Level 1 consensus for Multiplate® monitoring.
Does preoperative platelet function monitoring using the Multiplate® analyser optimize the timing of cardiac surgery and predict platelet transfusion needs in patients on antiplatelet therapy?
Consensus recommendations support the use of the Multiplate® analyser to guide the timing of urgent cardiac surgery and manage bleeding risk in patients on antiplatelet therapy.
Kong et al. (2014) studied this question.
