PLT, platelet; Hct, hematocrit; Epinephrine-CT, collagen-epinephrine closure time.
p value in comparison to the baseline results.
Platelet agglutination and falsely increased WBC (due to platelet agglutination) were reported on the cell counter.
Epinephrine-CT of three samples exposed to A platelets were > 300 seconds; however, for statistical purposes, Epinephrine-CT of these samples were considered 300 seconds.
