Post-CPB platelet function testing may flag bleeding risk after cardiac surgery; leaves open whether guiding transfusions improves outcomes.
Is platelet function after cardiopulmonary bypass associated with severe postoperative bleeding in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery?
Platelet function tests after cardiopulmonary bypass are significantly associated with postoperative bleeding, though the positive predictive value for severe bleeding is limited due to its multifactorial nature.
Ranucci et al. (2018) studied this question.
