Plasma pharmakocinetics of prophylactic Cefazolin administration for cardiac surgery: comparison of cardiopulmonary bypass priming with additive human Albumin 20% vs pure crystalloid priming

Phase 1
Conditions
This is a pharmacokinetic trial for patients undergoing cardiac surgery. It will be investigated whether cardiopulmonary bypass priming substituted with human albumin 20% has an effect on the pharmacokinetics of prophylactic Cefazolin versus standard priming. The information retrieved by these investigations will help to optimize antiinfective treatment in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Therapeutic area: Diseases [C] - Bacterial Infections and Mycoses [C01]
