- Abstract
Exposure to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with postoperative coagulopathy and hemorrhage. Recent literature indicates that heparin rebound occurs almost universally following cardiac surgery. We conducted this pilot study to evaluate if the presence of residual circulating heparin following cardiac surgery can be diagnosed by elevation of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT).
