Observational Study
Platelet function, but not thrombin generation, is impaired in acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) blood.
We investigated the coagulation changes that might occur in acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) blood over several hours during cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. ⋯ Little data exists regarding the quality of coagulation factors in autologous blood. Our study confirms ANH collection results in decreased platelet aggregation with TRAP stimulation; however, this is not appreciated with ADP stimulation. Thrombin generation capacity remains preserved.
