Popis: The impaired hemostasis of aspirin-treated patients is an annoying problem during and after cardiopulmonary bypass. The hemostatic function of platelets comprises two mechanisms: the shear-induced and the cyclooxygenase pathways. Because the latter is inhibited in aspirin-treated patients, the hemostatic function depends mainly on the former pathway. To investigate the effect of cardiopulmonary bypass on the shear-induced pathway, a double-blind study of preoperative aspirin treatment (325 mg) and placebo was conducted in 40 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Postoperative blood loss was higher in the aspirin-treated patients than in the placebo-treated patients ( p p p p p
