Recent reports, however, indicate that circumstances may arise in association with the use of which lead to concern about bleeding tendencies (I).

On the other hand, there is a study recorded in which was given to patients in amounts of 500 to 1,500 ml. without observing significant bleeding time changes(4). Previous studies have given no indication as to the possible mechanisms might be involved with. Our interest was from the viewpoint of in vitro studies, and after some preliminary experiments it became evident that there were certain manifestations related to platelet and platelet derivatives that might be of
