Abstract
A randomised double-blind controlled study was performed to examine the effect of diclofenac on skin bleeding time and in vitro whole blood platelet aggregation. Twenty thoracotomy patients were studied; 10 were given diclofenac 75 mg intramuscularly at induction of anaesthesia, and 10 formed a control group. Skin bleeding times and platelet aggregation tests were performed the day before and repeated one hour after induction of anaesthesia. Diclofenac prolonged skin bleeding time and reduced platelet aggregation. There were no significant changes in the control group.
