Study Summary

During a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), Fentanyl is commonly used for sedation. Ticagrelor is also routinely used as anti-platelet agent during PCI. However, a recent study has demonstrated the decrease in effectiveness of Ticagrelor when administered along with Fentanyl. Hence this study was designed to further assess the interaction between crushed vs non crushed Ticagrelor and Fentanyl given during PCI procedures.

Primary Outcome

The Platelet Function Testing assay will be VerifyNow Platelet Reactivity Assay which is used institutionally. Results are reported in platelet reactive units (PRUs). Based on previous studies, 208 will be used as an estimated cutoff to distinguish therapeutic and subtherapeutic platelet inhibition, with PRUs equal to or less than 208 being considered therapeutic

Interventions

  • DRUG Fentanyl
  • DRUG Ticagrelor 90Mg Tablet
