Preoperative platelet assessment may help stratify bleeding risk in cardiac surgery patients on.
Do preoperative platelet count and function predict postoperative bleeding in cardiac surgery patients pre-treated with P2Y12 inhibitors?
Preoperative platelet count and P2Y12-dependent platelet function are independent predictors of postoperative bleeding and transfusion requirements in cardiac surgery patients.
Ranucci et al. (2017) studied this question.
