Role of erythrocytes in the acute platelet response to operation.

A marked increase in platelet adhesiveness was shown to occur within four hours of operation. Postoperative red cells produced greater adhesiveness in platelets from a common pool than did preoperative red cells. A greater increase in platelet adhesiveness was observed following operation with the whole blood technique than when exogenous adenosine diphosphate was added to platelet-rich plasma. Release of adenosine diphosphate from red cells so facilitated may contribute to the acute platelet-adhesiveness response to operation.

Postoperative changes in platelet adhesiveness.

Platelet adhesiveness was measured in patients undergoing operation. With the rotating bulb technique adhesiveness increased steadily to the sixth and ninth days following surgery. The glass bead filter technique demonstrated a marked increase in platelet adhesiveness on the day following operation.
