Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare two different dosing strategies of a drug named protamine.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients greater than or equal to 18 years of age undergoing elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
  • Patients must that have a calculated protamine dose greater than 250 mg based on standard 1:1 initial heparin to protamine dosing calculation.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients who are under 18 years of age or pregnant.
  • Patients undergoing emergency surgery (ASA class E).
  • Patients with known coagulation disorders.
  • Patients requiring circulatory arrest or deep hypothermia.
  • Patients who have not had the appropriate interruption in coumadin, direct oral anticoagulants or non-aspirin antiplatelet agents.
  • Patients on pre-operative intravenous unfractionated heparin infusions.
  • Patients ineligible for heparin administration due to known adverse reactions including allergy or heparin induced thrombocytopenia or known heparin resistance.
  • Patients who are unable to provide informed consent in the form of a signature.
  • History of adverse reaction to protamine.
  • Have any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, will compromise the well-being of the patient or the study, or prevent the patient from meeting or performing study requirements.
