Platelet aggregation and clot formation in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest treated with induced hypothermia and dual platelet inhibition with aspirin and ticagrelor; a prospective observational study
Introduction: We conducted a prospective observational study in cardiac arrest survivors treated with mild induced hypothermia, evaluating different platelet function tests at hypo-and normothermia. We also investigated the relation between gastric emptying and vasodilator stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP). Methods: Comatose survivors of out of hospital cardiac arrest were included and divided into
