Humanalbumin, Hydroxyethylstarch and Ringer Lactate During Cardiac Surgery

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Valvular Heart Disease
Coronary Artery Disease
Interventions
Drug: Humanalbumin 5%
Drug: volume replacement
Registration Number
NCT01174719
Lead Sponsor
Medical University of Vienna
Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to compare three different regimens for volume replacement during cardiac surgery, e.g. Albumin 5%, Hydroxyethylstarch 130/0.4 (HES) and Ringer-Lactate (RL).

Main Outcome parameters: chest tube drainage and coagulation parameters. The investigators hypothesis is that HES is as safe as Albumin, however less expensive. Whether RL is an even less expensive and as safe alternative has to be shown.
