Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Body temperature measured in degree celsius via a pulmonary artery catheter..[Measured immediately prior to, at, 2 hours, 3 hours and 4 hours following the initial intravenous fluid bolus being administered post-cardiac surgery.]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in mean arterial blood pressure measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) via intra-arterial blood pressure monitoring.[Measured immediately prior to, at, 2 hours, 3 hours and 4 hours following the initial intravenous fluid bolus being administered post-cardiac surgery.];Change in cardiac index via thermodilution using a pulmonary artery catheter.[Measured immediately prior to, at, 2 hours, 3 hours and 4 hours following the initial intravenous fluid bolus being administered post-cardiac surgery.];Changes in heart rate in beats per minute (bts/min) via telemetry monitoring.[ Measured immediately prior to, at, 2 hours, 3 hours and 4 hours following the initial intravenous fluid bolus being administered post-cardiac surgery.];Changes in urinary output measured in milliltres via the indwelling urinary catheter.[Measured immediately prior to, at, 2 hours, 3 hours and 4 hours following the initial intravenous fluid bolus being administered post-cardiac surgery.]
