Abstract
Platelets play an essential role in haemostasis. Assessment of their function is vital for anaesthesiologists evaluating haemostatic potential, especially during emergency operations. The monitoring of platelets function had been implemented into the European recommendations for management of perioperative and posttraumatic bleeding. One of the diagnostic methods described in the recommendations is multiple electrode aggregometry. As antiplatelet therapy becomes more widely used in modern medicine, this method, in contrast to standard laboratory tests, can significantly help to identify patients with drug-induced thrombocytopaty. The aggregometry enables prompt evaluation of the platelets aggregation which is very useful for everyday decision-making in goal-directed hemostatic therapy.
