Study Summary
This trial will study the effects of a heart-lung machine on platelet function to determine if they increase the risk of patients bleeding during/after open-heart surgery.
Who is the study for?
Adults scheduled for non-emergency heart surgery with expected long cardiopulmonary bypass times can join. Excluded are those under 18, with bleeding disorders, recent clots or strokes, severe kidney/liver disease, anemia, on certain blood thinners recently (except ASA), pregnant women, and anyone unable to consent.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if different oxygenators used in heart-lung machines during open-heart surgery affect platelet function and clotting. It compares Terumo and LivaNova oxygenators using Plateletworks tests and rotational thromboelastometry to assess patient bleeding risks.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
There may not be direct side effects from the interventions as this study focuses on equipment used during surgery rather than medications. However, there's a potential risk of increased bleeding due to altered platelet function.
