AbstractBackground. The usefulness of the PFA-100® in assessing the risk of bleeding in non-cardiac surgery is not clear. This study aims to examine this by correlating preoperative PFA-100® measurement with perioperative bleeding in patients receiving cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors. Methods. PFA-100® with adenosine-5'-diphosphate (ADPCT) and epinephrine (EPICT) cartridges were measured before operation in consecutive patients undergoing elective total knee replacement and taking different COX inhibitors. Surgery and anaesthesia were performed by the same team using standardized techniques. Intraoperative blood loss and postoperative drain output were recorded by anaesthetists and nurses blinded to the PFA-100 ® measurements. Surgeons, similarly blinded, were asked to rate the quality of haemostasis. Correlation was sought between these data and PFA-100® measurements. Results. Thirty patients were studied, involving 51 knees. Preoperative PFA-100® EPICT was correlated with drain output (r=0.30, P=0.03). The correlation becomes stronger when a 20 in vitro haemodiluted sample was used for measurement (r=0.42, P=0.01). Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis using the diluted measurements [area under curve (AUC) 0.74 (95 CI 0.54-0.94)] suggested using a cut-off value of 188 s for EPICT, which will predict excessive drain output with 89 sensitivity, 54 specificity, and a likelihood ratio of 1.93. Diluted EPICT was also correlated with surgeon rating of haemostasis (r=0.36, P=0.04) although none of the measurements correlated with intraoperative blood loss. Conclusions. Preoperative PFA-100® prolongation is correlated with increased postoperative drain output. It can be a potentially useful preoperative measurement in patients taking COX inhibitors.
