Table 3.

PFA-100 Collagen-Epinephrine closure time of group O donor platelet depleted samples mixed at a ratio of 4:1 with either group O or group A platelets.

Group O Whole Blood (Mean + SD)^ (N = 8)
PLT Count (×103/μL) Hct (%) Epinephrine-CT (Seconds) [% Prolongation]

Baseline 250 ± 93 36 ± 3.1 161 ± 41

After PLT Depletion 45 ± 45 46 ± 13.3 -
p < 0.001 p = 0.071

After 60 min incubation at 37°C with O PLT 172 ± 94 37 ± 1.2 183 ± 53
p = 0.120 p = 0.437 p = 0.393 [14%]

After 60 min incubation at 37°C with A PLT 109 ± 63* 34 ± 4.8 240 ± 68#
p = 0.004 p = 0.443 p = 0.016 [49%]

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.
