Increased platelet microvesicle formation is associated with mortality in a porcine model of endotoxemia

Background: Gram‐negative sepsis in humans and endotoxemia in pigs induce the formation of platelet microvesicles. These microvesicles are active in homeostasis and may thus contribute to the outcome in patients with activated coagulation and fibrinolysis. We decided to prospectively evaluate the effects of endotoxemia on microvesicle formation and some common physiologic variables against survival in a porcine model.
