Effect of Hyperoxemia on Platelet Function in Healthy Volunteers
- Registration Number
- NCT01057420
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Zurich
- Brief Summary
Prospective, controlled, randomized crossover volunteer study to investigate the effect of hyperoxemia due to inhalation of oxygen (80% inspiratory fraction) via reservoir-face-mask on blood coagulation, especially platelet function, as measured by thrombelastography. According to results of basic animal and in vitro investigations, hyperoxemia may activate platelets by means of reactive oxygen species. This study aims at investigating a possible pro-coagulant effect of hyperoxemia in healthy volunteers. Additional studies on possible mechanisms are integrated.
