Overview
Brief Summary
Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with an increased risk of blood transfusions. The primary setup of the CPB circuit demands a priming volume of approximately 1600 mL of crystalloid solution which leads to a relevant hemodilution. The retrograde autologous priming (RAP) procedure minimizes hemodilution by displacing the crystalloid priming volume of arterial and venous lines via passive exsanguination of native blood prior to CPB initiation, resulting in higher hematocrits and reduction of red blood cell transfusion. RAP can also minimize the dilution of coagulation factors as well as red blood cells. Thus, the investigators hypothesized that RAP could maintain better coagulatory function after CPB. In this study, the investigators investigate the impact of RAP on the coagulation profile assessed by rotation thromboelastometry (ROTEM) in participants undergoing cardiac surgery.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Maximal Clot firmness (MCF) of Externally activated ROTEM assay (EXTEM)
Time Frame: 10 minutes after induction of anesthesia
Maximal Clot firmness (MCF) of EXTEM is a ROTEM parameter representing the strength of a clot, the formation of which is triggered by an activator of extrinsic coagulation pathway.
Maximal Clot firmness (MCF) of EXTEM
Time Frame: 15 minutes after injection of protamine (after cessation of CPB for reversal of heparin)
Maximal Clot firmness (MCF) of EXTEM is a ROTEM parameter representing the strength of a clot, the formation of which is triggered by an activator of extrinsic coagulation pathway. Dosage of heparin and protamine is only affected by patients' real body weight (not by ROTEM results). That is, in each case, the same protamine dosage applies to both groups.
Secondary Outcomes
- the number of patients who received plasma product transfusion including fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate and platelet concentrate.(postoperative 48 hours for plasma product transfusion)
- Clotting Time (CT)(15 minutes after injection of protamine (after cessation of CPB for reversal of heparin))
- Clot Formation Time (CFT)(15 minutes after injection of protamine (after cessation of CPB for reversal of heparin))
- A10(15 minutes after injection of protamine (after cessation of CPB for reversal of heparin))
- Maximal Clot firmness (MCF)(15 minutes after injection of protamine (after cessation of CPB for reversal of heparin))
