Abstract
Background Aspirin following unfractionated heparin is the most common anticoagulation strategy for pediatric patients who experienced cardiac surgery at high risk of thrombosis. The platelet aggregation test is the golden method to evaluate the aspirin effect on platelet function. However, the platelet aggregation basal status before postoperative aspirin initiation and the related clinical influencing factors hasn't been investigated systemically in this population. Methods In a prospective cohort of 247 children, arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation (PAG-AA) was measured by means of light transmission aggregometry (LTA) before the first dose of aspirin after cardiac surgical procedure and the perioperative variables were also collected. Distribution of this population's PAG-AA basal status was described. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to identify the main influencing factors of PAG-AA. Results The median time of aspirin administration was 2 (1–27) days after surgery and the corresponding median value of basal PAG-AA was 20.70% (1.28–86.49%), with 67.6% population under 55% and 47.8% population under 20%. Patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) had a significantly lower basal PAG-AA than those without (30.63 ± 27.35 vs. 57.91 ± 27.58, p = 0.013). While patients whose test done within 3 days after CPB had a significantly lower PAG-AA than those out of 3 days (25.61 ± 25.59 vs. 48.59 ± 26.45, p = 0.001). Univariate analysis implied that the influencing factors of the basal PAG-AA including CPB use, test time point, cyanosis, and platelet count. Multivariate regression analysis indicated that only CPB use, test time point, and platelet count were the main independent influencing factors for the basal PAG-AA. Conclusion The majority of children have impaired basal platelet aggregometry responses before postoperative aspirin initiation. The main influencing factors are CPB use, test time point, and platelet count. To establish the platelet aggregometry baseline prior to commencement of aspirin therapy, testing should be performed 3 days later following the procedure when effect of CPB is basically over.

Abstract
Bleeding caused by coagulopathy is common in children undergoing cardiac surgery and causes adverse outcomes. Coagulation testing assists selection of treatments to stop bleeding but has an uncertain role for predicting bleeding. We aimed to evaluate how well prospective coagulation testing predicted excessive bleeding during and after cardiac surgery compared to prediction using clinical characteristics alone. The study was a single-center, prospective cohort study in children having a range of cardiac surgery procedures with coagulation testing at anesthetic induction and immediately after cardiopulmonary bypass. The primary outcome was clinical concern about bleeding (CCB), a composite of either administration of prohemostatic treatments in response to bleeding or a high chest drain volume after surgery. In 225 children, CCB occurred in 26 (12%) during surgery and in 68 (30%) after surgery. Multivariable fractional polynomial models using the clinical characteristics of the children alone predicted CCB during surgery (c-statistic 0.64; 95% confidence interval 0.53, 0.76) and after surgery (0.74; 0.67, 0.82). Incorporating coagulation test results into these models improved prediction (c-statistics 0.79; 0.70, 0.87, and 0.80; 0.74, 0.87, respectively). However, this increased the overall proportion of children classified correctly as CCB or not CCB during surgery by only 0.9% and after surgery by only 0.4%. Incorporating coagulation test results into predictive models had no effect on prediction of blood transfusion or postoperative complications. Prospective coagulation testing marginally improves prediction of CCB during and after cardiac surgery but the clinical impact of this is small when compared to prediction using clinical characteristics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Few studies have investigated the Multiplate platelet function analyzer in pediatrics. The authors evaluated Multiplate combined with Rotem in terms of guiding platelet transfusion after pediatric cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The authors further compared coagulation parameters between cyanotic and acyanotic patients. DESIGN Subgroup analysis of a randomized clinical trial. SETTING Tertiary hospital. PARTICIPANTS Patients weighing between seven and 15 kg. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Rotem and Multiplate tests were performed (1) after anesthesia induction, (2) upon CPB separation, and (3) upon intensive care unit arrival. Among a total of 59 subjects, 9 patients required platelet transfusion. In multivariate linear regression, analysis EXTEM maximum clot firmness upon CPB separation was associated with the volume of transfused platelets (regression coefficient = -0.348 [95% confidence interval -1.006 to -0.028]; p = 0.039). No such association was found for the Multiplate test. Acyanotic and cyanotic heart disease were present in 32 and 27 children, respectively. There were no significant differences between these two groups in terms of platelet count and function. Postoperative blood loss was significantly higher in the cyanotic group compared with the acyanotic arm (p = 0.015; difference [95% confidence interval -2.40 {-4.20 to -0.60}]). There were no differences between groups regarding transfusion of allogeneic blood products. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that Rotem, but not Multiplate results, were associated with platelet transfusion in pediatric cardiac surgery with no intake of platelet inhibitors. The usefulness of combining these tests in platelet transfusion decision-making needs to be evaluated in larger populations.

Abstract
Bleeding and coagulation management are essential aspects in the management of neonates and children undergoing cardiac surgery. The use of point-of-care tests (POCTs) in a pediatric setting is not as widely used as in the adult setting. This systematic review aims to summarize the evidence showed by the literature regarding the use of POCTs in children undergoing cardiac surgery. We included all studies examining the pediatric population (<18 years old) undergoing cardiac surgery in which the coagulation profile was assessed with POCTs. Three electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Controlled Clinical Trials register) were searched. Tests involved were heparin effect tests, viscoelastic tests, and platelet function tests. Due to the wide heterogeneity of the patients and tests studied, a formal meta-analysis was impossible, and the results are therefore presented through a systematic review. Eighty articles were found, of which 47 are presented in this review. At present, literature data are too weak to define POCTs as a "gold standard" for the treatment of perioperative bleeding in pediatric cardiac surgery. Nevertheless, introduction of POCTs into postoperative algorithms has shown to improve bleeding management, patient outcome, and cost efficiency.

Abstract
Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) is a point-of-care viscoelastic method and enables to assess viscoelastic profiles of whole blood in various clinical settings. ROTEM-guided bleeding management has become an essential part of patient blood management (PBM) which is an important concept in improving patient safety. Here, ROTEM testing and hemostatic interventions should be linked by evidence-based, setting-specific algorithms adapted to the specific patient population of the hospitals and the local availability of hemostatic interventions. Accordingly, ROTEM-guided algorithms implement the concept of personalized or precision medicine in perioperative bleeding management (‘theranostic’ approach). ROTEM-guided PBM has been shown to be effective in reducing bleeding, transfusion requirements, complication rates, and health care costs. Accordingly, several randomized-controlled trials, meta-analyses, and health technology assessments provided evidence that using ROTEM-guided algorithms in bleeding patients resulted in improved patient’s safety and outcomes including perioperative morbidity and mortality. However, the implementation of ROTEM in the PBM concept requires adequate technical and interpretation training, education and logistics, as well as interdisciplinary communication and collaboration.

Effects of preoperative plasma exchange therapy with albumin replacement fluid on blood coagulation in patients undergoing ABO-incompatible living-donor kidney transplantation using rotational thromboelastometry. BMC Anesthesiol 2018; 18:68.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ABO-incompatible living-donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) requires immunotherapy and plasma exchange therapy (PEX). PEX with albumin replacement fluid reportedly decreases fibrinogen levels. However, no reports have described the effects of PEX with albumin replacement fluid on blood coagulation parameters and blood loss during the perioperative period. Therefore, we investigated the effects of preoperative PEX on blood coagulation parameters and blood loss during the perioperative period in patients undergoing ABO-incompatible LDKT as measured by rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM®). METHODS Twenty-eight patients undergoing LDKT were divided into the PEX group (ABO incompatible with PEX, n = 13) and non-PEX group (ABO compatible without PEX, n = 15). ROTEM® parameters, standard laboratory test parameters, bleeding volume, and transfusion volume were compared between PEX and non-PEX group. MCEplatelet, which represents platelet contribution to clot strength and where "MCE" stands for maximum clot elasticity, was calculated from the difference in MCE between EXTEM and FIBTEM. RESULTS The bleeding volume during surgery and the intensive care unit (ICU) stay was significantly higher in the PEX than non-PEX group (p < 0.01). Maximum clot firmness (MCF) of EXTEM (MCFEXTEM), MCFFIBTEM, and MCEplatelet was significantly lower in the PEX than non-PEX group (p < 0.01). In the PEX group, the bleeding volume during surgery was very strongly correlated with the baseline MCFEXTEM and MCEplatelet, and the bleeding volume during the ICU stay was strongly correlated with the postoperative MCFEXTEM and MCEplatelet. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that the increased blood loss in the PEX group during surgery and the ICU stay was associated with decreased platelet contribution to clot strength as measured by ROTEM®.

Perioperative changes in platelet count and function in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Med J Islam Repub Iran 2017; 31:37.

Abstract
Background: Patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at increased risk of bleeding due to multifactorial coagulopathies. In the present
study, we aimed at investigating the changes in platelet count and function during and after surgery as well as determining the
association of the platelet dysfunction with bleeding and transfusion requirements in these patients.
Methods: A total of 40 adult patients scheduled for elective valve coronary cardiac surgery were included in this prospective observational
study. Changes in platelet count and function with ADP, acid arachidonic, and collagen (light transmission aggregometry)
were analyzed at three time points: before CPB, after CPB, and 24 hours after end of surgery. Postoperative bleeding and intraoperative
transfusion requirements were recorded.
Results: There were a significant reverse correlation between CPB time and ADP-induced aggregation, particularly after CPB and
postoperative AA-induced aggregation. There was not any significant correlation between platelet count and function at all-time
points. Both platelet count and platelet aggregation significantly reduced during CPB. While platelet aggregation increased on postoperative
Day 1, platelet count reduced by about 40% after CPB, and remained at this level postoperatively. Patients with abnormal
ADP-induced aggregation had significant increased postoperative bleeding and transfusion requirements.
Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrate that platelet count and platelet aggregation are reduced during CPB. Our results
emphasized the effect of platelet dysfunction on increased postoperative bleeding and transfusion requirements. Perioperative monitoring
of platelet function can be considered as a bleeding management strategy for implantation of PBM programs.
