Table 1. The Effects of Aprotinin on Thromboelastography R Values

The first column shows the group (volunteers or patients) and the number. The second column is the activator; celite (C), kaolin (K), or tissue factor (T). The next three columns reflect increasing aprotinin concentrations; A-0 = 0 KIU/ml; A-100 = 100 KIU/ml; A-200 = 200 KIU/ml. Results are shown as median values in minutes with interquartile ranges and full ranges in brackets.

*P < 0.05 compared with preaprotinin value.

Vol = volunteers; Pat = patients; Pat post CPB = patients post-cardiopulmonary bypass.
