Identification of Injury and Shock Driven Effects on Ex-Vivo Platelet Aggregometry: A Cautionary Tale of Phenotyping - Starr NE, Matthay ZA, Fields AT, Nunez-Garcia B, Callcut RA, Cohen MJ, Kornblith LZ.

BACKGROUND: Platelet behavior in trauma-induced coagulopathy is poorly understood. Injured patients have impaired platelet aggregation ('dysfunction') in ex vivo agonist-stimulated platelet aggregometry (PA). However, PA assumes platelets are inactivated p...
