Overview
Brief Summary
This is a multi-center, open label, single group, observational study designed to evaluate the effects of a Cardioplexol™ preparation and administration training program proposed to cardiac surgeons and cardiotechnicians inexperienced in the use of Cardioplexol™.
The training program aims at increasing the efficacy of Cardioplexol administration while reducing the risk of false manipulations. During the training possible risks and consequences of incorrect applications as well as the measures to take in case of administration error, are discussed. The training program includes one standardized theoretical part and one practical part consisting of a direct intra-operative coaching of surgeons practicing their first 2 operations.
The effect of the training will then be assessed by evaluating each trained surgeon's 4 next consecutive patients operated with Cardioplexol and without the coach.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Major Deviation in Cardioplexol application
Time Frame: During surgery
Number of major deviations from the application of Cardioplexol™ as determined by the pre-specified training documentation (incorrect volume of initial dose, incorrect volume of second/third/fourth dose, incorrect duration of injection of initial dose, incorrect timing of application of initial dose, incorrect timing of application of second/third/fourth dose).
Secondary Outcomes
- TnT Values(During the first 24 hours following myocardial reperfusion)
- Complete Cardiac Arrest(During Surgery)
- Catecholamine(During during aortic cross-clamping and during the first 24 hours)
- ICU stay(During follow-up phase after surgery up to 35 days)
- Mortality(During the first 24 hours following coronary reperfusion)
- CK-MB Values(During the first 24 hours following myocardial reperfusion)
- Defibrillation rate(During surgery)
