Please navigate to our December 21, 2024 entry PFA-100/200, which features Brenda Goforth‘s question and the subsequent discussion by Dave McGlasson and Dr. Emmanuel Favaloro. The entry cites three references, one of which is open access, and click here for a basic PFA-100/200 protocol copied from a link in the December 21 post.
In further follow-up, on December 23, Brenda added: “Hi George, thank you for the prompt reply and the excellent resources. I have two more questions. Do most labs report the closure times rather than normal/abnormal, and do most labs stop at the CEPI when it is normal or automatically do both CEPI and CADP?”
Thank you, Brenda.
In response, please observe our January 2025 Quick Question, “To test for platelet function, how do you report PFA-100/200 collagen-epi and collagen-ADP results?” For brevity, I offered CT for Closure Time and “Pos/Neg” for Normal/Abnormal. Please choose the answer that closely matches your approach to PFA-100/200 reporting, and if no answer fits, add your comment below.
