The Status and Significance of Platelet Function Tests in the Assessment of Hemostatic Function in Neurosurgery
With the aging of the population,the proportion of patients receiving long-term antiplatelet therapy among those undergoing surgical treatment is increasing.Potential platelet hypofunction caused by antiplatelet drugs can affect intraoperative hemostasis and increase the risks of massive intraoperative hemorrhage and postoperative bleeding complications.Therefore,a quick and accurate assessment of platelet function before surgery is of great significance in comprehensively evaluating a patient's hemostatic function.Based on the summary of relevant literature and the current status of the application of platelet function tests in neurosurgery,this paper analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the currently commonly used platelet function tests,and introduced relevant therapies to improve platelet function,with the aim of improving the understanding of platelet function among neurosurgeons.
