BACKGROUND: Coagulopathy is common after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and platelet dysfunction is frequently considered to be a major contributor to excessive bleeding. Exposure to hypothermia may exacerbate the platelet function defect. We assessed platelet function during and after deep hypothermia with multiple electrode aggregometry (Multiplate (R); Verum Diagnostica GmbH, Munich, Germany).METHODS: Twenty adult patients undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy for chronic pulmonary hypertension were cooled on CPB to 20 degrees C and deep hypothermic arrest was used to facilitate surgery. We analyzed platelet aggregation in whole blood samples at 12 measuring points during and after the procedure. Platelet aggregation was stimulated via the thrombin receptor (TRAPtest) at the patient's actual body temperature (AUC-CT) and after rewarming the samples to 37 degrees C (AUC-37). In addition, we tested samples at 2 time points after 2 minutes of in vitro incubation with 20 mu g protamine (0.067 mu g/mu L). Results are expressed as area under the aggregation curve (AUC).RESULTS: Cooling resulted in a marked decrease of platelet aggregation to a minimum AUC-CT of 20.5 (95% confidence interval [CI] 8.9-32.1) at 20 degrees C body temperature. AUC-CT was significantly different from baseline (92.8, 95% CI 82.5-103.1) for temperatures of
