TLDR
It is concluded that cardiopulmonary bypass patients demonstrate abnormal clinical bleeding when there is a persistence of platelet dysfunction manifested as a bleeding time of greater than 20 mm after protamine administration and such bleeding patients with a prolonged bleeding time should receive platelet transfusions.

Postoperative Course and Hemodynamic Profile After the Arterial Switch Operation in Neonates and Infants A Comparison of Low-Flow Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Circulatory Arrest

TL;DR: After heart surgery in neonates and infants, both low-flow bypass and circulatory arrest perfusion strategies have comparable effects on the nonneurological postoperative course and hemodynamic profile.

Detection of activated platelets in whole blood using activation- dependent monoclonal antibodies and flow cytometry

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that activated platelets can be reliably detected in whole blood using activation-dependent monoclonal antibodies and flow cytometry and may be useful to assess the degree of platelet activation and the efficacy of antiplatelet therapy in clinical disorders.

Bleeding Complications Associated With Cardiopulmonary Bypass

TL;DR: The protease inhibitor aprotinin is particularly promising in the reduction of bleeding associated with CPB when given prophylactically and may provide new insights into the mechanism of CPB-induced platelet dysfunction.

Exaggerated platelet reactivity in major depression.

TL;DR: Depressed patients exhibit enhanced baseline platelet activation and responsiveness in comparison with normal subjects, which may be a mechanism by which depression is a significant risk factor for ischemic heart and cerebrovascular disease and/or mortality after myocardial infarction.

Thrombokinetics in man

TL;DR: Platelet production, distribution, and destruction have been quantitated in normal man and in selected patients with platelet disorders and, in most instances, total production as calculated from the megakaryocyte mass agreed with production estimated from platelet turnover.

The bleeding time as a screening test for evaluation of platelet function.

TL;DR: The value of the standardized template bleeding time was studied in 100 normal subjects and 136 patients with various disorders and found that with normal platelets the bleeding time in this test is 4.5...
