- Objectives: Protamine reduces platelet aggregation after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We studied the inhibitory effect of a reduced protamine dose, the duration of impaired platelet function and the possible correlation to postoperative bleeding. Design: Platelet function was assessed by impedance aggregometry in 30 patients undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB at baseline, before protamine administration, after 70% and 100% of the calculated protamine dose, after 20 minutes and at arrival to the intensive care unit. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP), thrombin receptor activating peptide-6 (TRAP), arachidonic acid (AA) and collagen (COL) were used as activators. Blood loss was measured during operation and three hours after surgery. Results are presented as median (25th-75th percentile). Results: Platelet aggregation decreased markedly after the initial dose of protamine (70%) with all activators; ADP 89 (71-110) to 54 (35-78), TRAP 143 (116-167) to 109 (77-136), both p < .01; AA 25 (16-49) to 17 (12-24) and COL 92 (47-103) to 60 (38-81) U, both p < .05. No further decrease was seen after 100% protamine. The effect was transient and after twenty minutes platelet aggregation had started to recover; ADP 76 (54-106), TRAP 138 (95-158), AA 20 (10-35), COL 70 (51-93) U. Blood loss during operation correlated to aggregometry measured at baseline and after protaminization. Conclusions: Protamine after CPB induces a marked decrease in platelet aggregation already at a protamine-heparin ratio of 0.7:1. The impairment seems to be transient and recovery had started after 20 minutes.

- Introduction: Residual pump blood from the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit is often collected into an infusion bag (IB) and re-transfused. An alternative is to chase the residual blood into the circulation through the arterial cannula with Ringer’s acetate. Our aim was to assess possible differences in hemostatic blood quality between these two techniques.Methods: Forty adult patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery with CPB were randomized to receive the residual pump blood by either an IB or through the Ringer’s chase (RC) technique. Platelet activation and function (impedance aggregometry), coagulation and hemolysis variables were assessed in the re-transfused blood and in the patients before, during and after surgery. Results are presented as median (25-75 quartiles).Results: Total hemoglobin and platelet levels in the re-transfused blood were comparable with the two methods, as were soluble platelet activation markers P-selectin and soluble glycoprotein VI (GPVI). Platelet aggregation (U) in the IB blood was significantly lower compared to the RC blood, with the agonists adenosine diphosphate (ADP) 24 (10-32) vs 46 (33-65), p<0.01, thrombin receptor activating peptide (TRAP) 50 (29-73) vs 69 (51-92), p=0.04 and collagen 24 (17-28) vs 34 (26-59), p<0.01. The IB blood had higher amounts of free hemoglobin (mg/L) (1086 (891-1717) vs 591(517-646), p<0.01) and D-dimer 0.60 (0.33-0.98) vs 0.3 (0.3-0.48), p<0.01. Other coagulation variables showed no difference between the groups. Conclusions: The handling of blood after CPB increases hemolysis, impairs platelet function and activates coagulation and fibrinolysis. The RC technique preserved the blood better than the commonly used IB technique.

- Platelet dysfunction is an important cause of postoperative bleeding after cardiac surgery. Protamine is routinely used for reversal of heparin after cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP), but may affect platelet aggregation. We assessed changes in platelet function in relation to protamine administration. Design: Platelet aggregation was analyzed by impedance aggregometry before and after protamine administration in 25 adult cardiac surgery patients. Aggregation was also studied after in vitro addition of heparin and protamine. The activators adenosine diphosphate (ADP), thrombin receptor activating peptide-6 (TRAP), arachidonic acid (AA) and collagen (COL) were used.Results: Platelet aggregation was reduced by approximately 50% after in vivo protamine administration; ADP 640 +/- 230 (AU*min, mean +/- SD) to 250 +/- 160, TRAP 939 +/- 293 to 472 +/- 260, AA 307 +/- 238 to 159 +/- 143 and COL 1022 +/- 350 to 506 +/- 238 (all p<0.001). Aggregation was also reduced after in vitro addition of protamine alone with activators ADP from 518 +/- 173 to 384 +/- 157 AU*min p<0.001, and AA 449 +/- 311 to 340 +/- 285 (p<0.01) and protamine combined with heparin (1:1 ratio) with activators ADP to 349 +/- 160 and AA to 308 +/- 260 (both p<0.001); and COL from 586 +/- 180 to 455 +/- 172 (p<0.05). Conclusions: Protamine given after CPB markedly reduces platelet aggregation. Protamine added in vitro also reduces platelet aggregation, by itself or in combination with heparin.
