Zusammenfassung: | The aim of the study was to investigate whether the HeProCalc algorithm affects heparin and protamine dosage, postoperative blood loss, and transfusion rate.
Randomized controlled trial.
University hospital.
The study comprised 210 cardiac surgery patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Twenty patients were excluded because of re-exploration for localized surgical bleeding (n = 9), violation of protocol (n = 2), aprotinin use (n = 3 and nadir body temperature |
