Impedance Aggregometry Reveals Increased Platelet Aggregation during Liver Transplantation [PDF]
In patients presenting for liver transplantation, increased platelet aggregation as well as thrombocytopenia have been demonstrated, but bedside assays have not been investigated. We compared platelet aggregation in liver transplantation patients and control surgical patients using impedance aggregometry.

Platelet aggregation response to cyclooxygenase inhibition and thromboxane receptor antagonism using impedance aggregometry: A pilot study [PDF]
Impedance aggregometry is an alternative to light transmission aggregometry that allows analysis of platelet function in whole blood samples. We hypothesized (1) impedance aggregometry would produce repeatable results, (2) inhibition of cyclooxygenase ...

Point-of-care HEMOstasis in children with congenital heart disease, the POCHEMO study: Rotational thromboelastometry and impedance aggregometry in children with cyanotic and non-cyanotic congenital heart disease [PDF]
Children with cyanotic congenital heart diseases have a higher risk of bleeding or thrombosis. Rotational thromboelastometry, using tissue factor (EXTEM), a contact activator (INTEM), or cytochalasin (FIBTEM), assesses coagulation by determining the time

Comparison of Light Transmission Aggregometry With Impedance Aggregometry in Patients on Potent P2Y12 Inhibitors. [PDF]
Since data on the agreement between light transmission aggregometry (LTA) and multiple electrode aggregometry (MEA) in patients on the more potent P2Y 12 inhibitors are missing so far, we investigated if the evaluation of the responsiveness to therapy by LTA can be replaced by MEA in 160 ...

Optimized tool for evaluation of platelet function measured by impedance aggregometry
Platelet aggregation measured by impedance aggregometry is highly dependent on platelet count. We previously developed a tool to interpret impedance aggregometry based on the strong linear correlation between platelet counts and platelet aggregation at ...

Whole blood impedance aggregometry findings in experimental endotoxinemia. [PDF]
In an observational study in a recent issue of Critical Care, we demonstrated that platelet function, as assessed by impedance aggregometry, is reduced in patients with severe sepsis and poor prognosis [1]. In the present study, we investigated whether the prototypic endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (Escherichia coli; serotype 0.111:B4; Sigma-Aldrich,

The role of whole blood impedance aggregometry and its utilisation in the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome and sepsis in acute critical illness. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To assess the prognostic and diagnostic value of whole blood impedance aggregometry in patients with sepsis and SIRS and to compare with whole blood parameters (platelet count, haemoglobin, haematocrit and white cell count).

Hirudin versus citrate as an anticoagulant for ROTEM platelet whole blood impedance aggregometry in thrombocytopenic patients [PDF]
Citrate is widely used as an anticoagulant for platelet function tests (PFTs). Due to an intrinsic inhibitory effect of citrate on platelet function, hirudin is used as an alternative.
