Whole blood heparin concentrations do not correlate with plasma antifactor Xa heparin concentrations in pediatric patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass
Abstract
This study was designed to test the validity of whole blood heparin concentration (WHBC) measurements using an on-site protamine titration assay with the Hepcon instrument (Medtronic Blood Management, Parker, CO, USA) in pediatric patients less than 1 year old undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The validity of the Hepcon measurements was examined via a test of correlation with the gold standard plasma antifactor Xa activity (anti-Xa) …
