Platelet-dependent thrombography gives a distinct pattern of in vitro thrombin generation after surgery with cardio-pulmonary bypass: potential implications

Table 2 Thrombin generation before and after CPB with PRP and PDP (at three TF concentrations)

Data are reported as median (min-max) of at least 8 patients (10 patients enrolled- a few missing data for technical reasons). All decreases in ETP are statistically significant. p < 0.05 when comparing ETP change with PRP to those with PDP in presence of 0.3 pM TF. ETP: Endogenous Thrombin Potential. PDP: platelet-depleted plasma, PRP: platelet-rich plasma, TF: recombinant human tissue factor.
