Thrombin generation has a key role in the pathophysiology of hemostasis. Research has focused on the intraoperative course of hemostasis, while little is known about postoperative hemostatic activation. Thrombin generation assays quantify the potential for thrombin generation ex vivo and may be useful for determining hypercoagulability. The thrombin dynamics test (TDT) assesses the initial kinetics of thrombin formation. We hypothesized that there would be an increase in thrombin generation as well as thrombin capacity after cardiac surgery.
