Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Feasibility to conduct a larger trial

    Will the pilot show that the pilot's design is feasible with respect to timely patient enrolment, blinding of treatment allocation, study drug dosage requirements and the collection and measurement of study outcomes; ACT of \> 450 seconds after initial pre-CPB heparin bolus, dosage of additional heparin (if any) to maintain an ACT of greater than 450 seconds, differences (if any) in coagulation profiles, differences if any in chest tube drainage, differences (if any) in post-operative transfusion requiements

    pre-cardiopulmonary bypass initiation; peri-operative period (in minutes) to 24 hours post-operatively

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • ACT after initial dose of heparin

    pre-cardiopulmonary bypass initiation; peri-operatively(in seconds)

  • Total Heparin Dose used

    pre-cardiopulmonary bypass initiation to termination of cardiopulmonary bypass; peri-operatively(in minutes)

  • Coagulation

    post-cardiopulmonary inition, at the 45 minute on pump time point; perioperatively to 24 hours post-operatively
