This hemorrhage, due to the fact that it was not excessive, could be controlled with local hemostatic measures. Another research project conducted by Cespedes at the Oral Surgery Graduate Program of the Central University of Venezuela compared platelet function and bleeding time in patients subjected to dual therapy of acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel with a control group. He found both values to be altered and therefore timely hemostatic measures had to be undertaken so as to control bleeding during surgical events.
Otra investigación realizada por Céspedesen el postgrado de Cirugía Bucal de la Universidad Central de Venezuela, se comparó la función plaquetaria y el tiempo de sangría en pacientes con terapia dual de ácido acetilsalicílico y clopidogrel con un grupo control, encontrando que ambos valores estaban alterados, haciendo necesario tomar medidas hemostáticas oportunas para controlar el sangrado durante el acto quirúrgico.
