Study Summary

It is common practice to use antifibrinolytic agents before and during cardiopulmonary bypass. They are not without side effects. The investigators want to show that there is no proof of fibrinolysis in standard sternotomy cardiac surgery patients before cardiopulmonary bypass, and that antifibrinolytic agents should only be started on cardiopulmonary bypass.

Primary Outcome

Change in Di-dimer between preoperative value and value immediately before cardiopulmonary bypass in cardiac surgery patients.

Interventions

  • DRUG Placebo
  • DRUG Epsilonaminocaproic acid
