The brain is encased in three membranes: the pia mater, arachnoid, and dura mater. A subdural hematoma is often a post-traumatic accumulation of blood between the dura mater and the brain, occurring when a trauma tears a small vein on the brain. As the hematoma expands, it compresses the brain, potentially leading to severe neurological symptoms that may require urgent surgical removal. Patients on antiplatelet therapy are at increased risk of larger subdural hematomas and higher morbidity.
The reversibility of antiplatelet effects and the potential benefits of platelet transfusions to halt hematoma expansion or prevent significant re-bleeding during surgical management are still debated. The French Society of Anesthesia and Intensive Care (SFAR) recommends delaying neurosurgical interventions by 5 days if clinically tolerable, with platelet transfusions provided for urgent surgeries within this period. However, prolonged cessation of antithrombotic treatments increases the risk of perioperative thrombotic events.
Literature also notes individual variability in the effectiveness of antiplatelet treatments. European guidelines suggest using platelet function analysis devices alongside standard laboratory coagulation monitoring in trauma patients suspected of platelet dysfunction (Level 2C). The 2019 SFAR guidelines for the emergency management of patients on antiplatelets do not recommend these devices outside of cardiovascular surgery due to a lack of studies.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily Sampling in Platelet Function | Other | The management of patients included in this study is not altered from the standard recommended care. The only exception is the daily blood draw into a dry tube for decentralized analysis using VeriFyNow until the normalization of platelet function, which is not part of routine care. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Biological samples | Biological | Biological samples are taken from the patient's catheter inserted upon admission (the usual access route for patients): A daily sample is collected into a dry tube for off-site analysis by VeriFyNow until platelet function normalizes (for example, if platelet function normalizes on Day 2, no further VeriFyNow analysis will be conducted on subsequent days). |

| Evaluation of Platelet Function Progression | Evaluation of the difference between the time to achieve functional platelets, measured by the analysis of platelet function (defined by the time elapsed between the last intake of antiplatelet drugs and the normalization of platelet function measured by VeriFyNow), and the recommended management delay by SFAR of 5 days after the cessation of the antiplatelet drug An analysis of the kinetics of recovery of platelet function in patients on aspirin managed for a subdural hematoma will be conducted to assess this criterion. | Day 3 |
| Evaluation of Platelet Function Progression | Evaluation of the difference between the time to achieve functional platelets, measured by the analysis of platelet function and the recommended management delay by SFAR of 5 days after the cessation of the antiplatelet drug |

| Comparison of platelet function measurement between calculation and VerifyNow | Comparison of platelet function measurement calculated by the theoretical formula based on the patient's initial platelet count and a 10% daily platelet turnover rate, and the VeriFyNow. | Day 0 |
