| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To compare postoperative ATIII levels at the ICU admission between two groups of subjects randomly allocated to receive (treatment group) or not to receive (control group) ATIII supplementation preoperatively;Secondary Objective: To compare heparin resistance rate between treatment and control groups. To compare the following postoperative outcomes between treatment and control groups: - Blood loss in the first 12h. - Need for blood products. - Low cardiac output syndrome. - Myocardial infarction. - Mechanical ventilation duration. - In-hospital postoperative mortality. - Thromboembolic events. - Need for surgical re-exploration resulting from bleeding. - Adverse neurological outcome. - ICU stay duration. - Prolonged ICU stay (>7 days). - Length of hospital stay;Primary end point(s): ATIII levels (average) at the ICU admission in both treatment and control groups Percentage of subjects with ATIII levels of 58% or higher at the ICU admission in both treatment and control groups. | — |
