Ondansetron and Blood Coagulation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Ondansetron may alter whole blood coagulation. However, little is known about the dose-response relationships according to the blood concentration of ondansetron. The investigators therefore will perform the present study to measure the effect of ondansestron on the blood coagulation pathway according to the drug concentration level using a thromboelastography test.

Experimental: 2000 ng/ml Blood specimen which was added 2 ul of ondansetron |
Drug: 2 ul of ondansetron
Venous blood is taken from 12 healthy volunteers and divided into four specimen bottles, which were added with different doses (2 ul) using ondansetron

Experimental: 20000 ng/ml Blood specimen which was added 20 ul of ondansetron |
Drug: 20 ul of ondansetron
Venous blood is taken from 12 healthy volunteers and divided into four specimen bottles, which were added with different doses (20 ul) using ondansetron

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Citrated Functional Fibrinogen [During the thromboelastography analysis/ an average of 1 hour]
Provides clot strength based on fibrinogen contribution
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Citrated Kaolin [During the thromboelastography analysis/ an average of 1 hour]
Normal thromboelastography
- Citrated Kaolin Heparinase [During the thromboelastography analysis/ an average of 1 hour]
To assess the effect of heparin
- Citrated Rapid Thromboelastography [During the thromboelastography analysis/ an average of 1 hour]
A quicker assessment of clot strength, without assessment of clot initiation
