Platelet reactivity in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and hypothermia

TL;DRAbstract

Post-resuscitation syndrome with ongoing hypothermia is associated with decreased platelet reactivity. Clopidogrel loading does not significantly affect platelet function during the first 48 hours. This is in contrast with eptifibatide which produces profound platelet inhibition, and may be used to bridge insufficient inhibition by clopidogrel.
