Boxplots showing plasma levels in cardiac surgery patients. (a) thrombin-antithrombin complexes (TATc). ***P < 0.001 (nonparametric test). (b) plasminogen activator activity percentage (PAA %). **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 (parametric tests). Non, nontransfused (n = 17); Restrictive, 1 or 2 units of blood transfused (n = 18); Multiple, ≥ 5 units of blood transfused (n = 10). Boxplots: the lower hinge defined as the 25th percentile, middle as 50th percentile and upper hinge as the 75th percentile. Whiskers define lowest and highest observation.
