Influence of Extracorporeal Circulation on Platelet Function of Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
- Conditions
- Acquired Platelet Function Disorder
- Registration Number
- NCT01354847
- Lead Sponsor
- Goethe University
- Brief Summary
- This study is planned to investigate the relationship between duration of extracorporeal circulation and the extent of (acquired) platelet dysfunctions in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. 
- Detailed Description
- Patients undergoing complex cardiac surgery are planned to be included. At several intra- and postoperative measuring point, blood is drawn for multiple electrode aggregometry to investigate ex-vivo platelet aggregation as a surrogate for platelet function. 
 Transfusion rate of allogenic blood products as well as postoperative blood loss is planned to be recorded.
