Intraoperative Monitoring of Platelet Activity for Patients with Reactive Thrombocytemia and the Mechanism of Adenosine-5’-Diphosphate-Induced Blood Coagulation Shinji Kohro, M.D., Ph.D., Michiaki Yamakage, M.D., Ph.D., Kaori Satoh, M.D., Akiyoshi Namiki, M.D., Ph.D. Anesthesiology, Sapporo Medical Univ. Sch. of Med., Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.   INTRODUCTION: Patients with thrombocytemia are at the risk for development of thromboembolism, especially in the perioperative period. We intraoperatively monitored adenosine-5’-diphosphate (ADP)-induced whole blood coagulation in patients with thrombocytemia using a platelet aggregation monitor (WBA analyzer™; SSR Engineering Co., Kanagawa, Japan). To determine the mechanism of ADP-induced platelet activation, we also investigated ADP-induced blood coagulation using a standard blood viscometer ( Sonoclot ™; Scienco Co., Wheat Ri...

Sonoclot Analyzer and Platelet Aggregometry Detect Platelet Receptor (GPIIb/IIIa) Blockade Yue Dong, M.D.; Gregory A. Nuttall, M.D.; William C. Oliver, M.D.; Mark H. Ereth, M.D. Anesthesiology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, United States [Background] Abciximab blocks the major platelet surface receptor (GPIIb/IIIa), which is critical to platelet aggregation. Practical means to monitor platelet function in patients on abciximab undergoing emergency cardiac surgery is needed. [Methods] After Institutional Review Board approval and informed consent, blood samples were drawn from 20 healthy volunteers. Celite activated Sonoclot analysis and ADP activated Platelet Poor Plasma (PRP) aggregometry were completed after addition of abciximab. The Sonoclot analysis and ADP activated PRP aggregometry were used to detect platelet function. The data was analyzed by student's t test and P<0.05 is statistically significan...
