This Study Will Compare the Effect of Starch Containing to Non-Starch Containing Intravenous Fluid on Blood Loss During Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The overall aim of this study is to determine if there is a bleeding risk associated with the use of starch-containing fluids during cardiac surgery. The specific purpose of this study will be to examine, in a prospective randomized double-blind placebo-controlled fashion, the effects of colloid (HES 130/0.4) vs. crystalloid (Ringer's Lactate) on bleeding in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass for cardiac surgery. The primary end point of this trial will be chest tube output at 24 hours. In addition, a range of secondary end points focusing on transfusion parameters, as well as other important end-organ outcomes, will be determined.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To assess the effect of colloid (HES 130/0.4) administration on blood loss (as determined by chest tube drainage in the first 24 postoperative hours) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). [first 24 postoperative hours]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Transfusion requirements (RBC and other blood products) both at 24 hours and for duration of hospitalization [first 24 postoperative hours]
- Re-exploration for bleeding [first 24 postoperative hours]
- Total intravenous volume administration required in OR and during first 24 hours post-op hours. [first 24 postoperative hours]
