Observational StudyPredicting Bleeding Risk by Platelet Function Testing in Patients Undergoing Heart Surgery.
Predicting bleeding events in patients with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) represents an unmet medical need that may improve CABG outcomes. ⋯ In patients undergoing heart surgery, an ASPI test value <407 AUC*min may predict higher postoperative drainage, whereas <271 AUC*min may be linked to postoperative use of red blood cell concentrate.
