Scientific titleCOagulation and Platelet laboratory Testing in Cardiac surgery : a prospective, single-centre observational study
Study acronymCOPTIC
Study objectivesTo estimate the patient benefit associated with pre and post operative measurement of coagulation factors and platelet function in cardiac surgery patients.
Ethics approval(s)Wiltshire Research Ethics Committee, 09/09/2009
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCardiac disease/coronary surgery
InterventionParticipants will undergo standard pre-operative, anaesthetic, surgical and post-operative care according to existing protocols.

1. For the research, two 22.5 ml blood samples will be obtained in the operating theatre at the following time-points:
1.1. Immediately before induction of anaesthesia
1.2. Reversal of heparin anticoagulation

Blood samples will be taken from existing arterial lines that are inserted as part of standard clinical care. No additional venepunctures are required for this study. These samples represent a total additional blood requirement of 45 ml.

Decisions about intra- and post-operative haemostasis and transfusion treatment will be guided by thromboelastography (TEG®) and other laboratory investigations, performed at the discretion of the responsible clinician in accordance with our routine institutional practice. These decisions will not be influenced by participation in this study.

2. Reference coagulation and platelet function assays
2.1. Prothrombin time
2.2. Activated partial thromboplastin time
2.3. Fibrinogen activity (Clauss assay)
2.4. Factor XIII activity (Berichrom assay)
2.5. Heparin activity (anti-Xa assay)
2.6. Endogenous thrombin potential (Thrombin generation assay in platelet poor plasma)
2.7. Von Willebrand factor activity (collagen binding assay)
2.8. D-dimer concentration
2.9. Platelet count
2.10. Immature platelet count
2.11. Mean platelet volume
2.12. Maximum amplitude of platelet aggregation to ADP (Multiplate assay)
2.13. Maximum amplitude of platelet aggregation to AA (Multiplate assay)
2.14. Maximum amplitude of platelet aggregation to TRAP (Multiplate assay)
2.15. Maximum amplitude of platelet aggregation to adrenaline (Multiplate assay)

3. TEG® analysis (post-operative sample only)
Estimates of R-time, K value, MA and LY30 parameters using kaolin and kaolin+ heparinase reagents.

4. Rotational thrombelastography analysis (ROTEM®) (post-operative sample only)
Estimates of R-time, K value and MA parameters using in-tem®, fib-tem®, ap-tem® and hep-tem® reagents
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureThe primary predictor and outcome of interest differ by objective. Therefore, they are defined below with respect to each objective separately.
1. Key predictors: results from pre-operative coagulopathy assays
Key outcome: clinical concern about bleeding
2. Key predictor: time between stopping clopidogrel/prasrugrel medication prior to surgery and time of surgery
Key outcomes: results from reference coagulopathy assays
3. Key predictor: time between stopping clopidogrel/prasrugrel medication prior to surgery and time of surgery
Key outcome: clinical concern about bleeding
4. Key predictors: results from post-operative reference coagulopathy assays
Key outcome: category of coagulopathy
5. Key predictors: results from reference coagulopathy assays hypothesised to predict a category of coagulopathy (separate analyses for each category of coagulopathy)
Key outcome: category of coagulopathy (compared to category no coagulopathy)
6. Key predictors: results for parameters from TEG® and ROTEM® point-of-care analysers hypothesised to predict a category of coagulopathy (separate analyses for each category of coagulopathy)
Key outcome: category of coagulopathy (compared to category no coagulopathy)
Secondary outcome measuresNo secondary outcome measures
