摘要

Abstract Introduction/Aims Needle electromyography (EMG) is understood to be a relatively safe procedure based on clinical experience. There are no evidence‐based guidelines for EMG procedures in thrombocytopenic patients. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is an increased risk of bleeding complications associated with needle EMG in patients with thrombocytopenia. Methods This retrospective study included patients with a primary cancer and thrombocytopenia who underwent needle EMG between January 1, 2016 and October 30, 2020. Patients' medical records were reviewed for demographics; diagnoses; platelet counts within a 7‐day period of EMG examination; concurrent use of anticoagulants or antiplatelet medications; number of sites sampled by needle EMG, including anatomical differentiation of paraspinal and both deep and superficial limb muscles; and associated complications not limited to bleeding within 30?days of EMG examination. Results The initial data search identified 198 patients with a documented diagnosis of thrombocytopenia; 124 met these criteria and were included in the study. A total of 1001 muscle sample sites were documented, with 111 sites in paraspinal muscles, 876 sites in superficial limb muscles, and 14 sites within deep limb muscles. Five patients were concurrently using therapeutic anticoagulation and 3 were using antiplatelet medications. There were no clinically significant complications, but five minor incidents were documented in the medical records within 30?days post‐EMG examination. Discussion Our findings suggest that bleeding complications from standard needle EMG in oncology patients with documented thrombocytopenia are rare. Testing of high‐risk muscles in this patient population appears to be safe.
