Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Male or female patients between 18 and 80 years of age; 2.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary end point(s): Number of major deviations from the application of Cardioplexol as determined by the pre-specified training documentation. The primary endpoint for each patient is fulfilled only if the application of Cardioplexol TM is correct in all below described points or if deviations are explained. - Correct volume of initial dose - Correct duration of injection of initial dose - Correct timing of application of initial dose - Correct volume of second/third/fourth dose - Correct timing of application of second/third/fourth dose;Main Objective: The main objective is to explore the effects of a training program on the rate of correct application of Cardioplexol for cardioplegic cardiac arrest during cardiac surgical interventions.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are: - to explore the effects of Cardioplexol on the protection of cardiac cells during the “ischemic” period in order to allow a rapid and complete reversibility of the cardiac arrest when used during a cardiac surgical intervention under the assistance of a heart-lung machine. - to explore the effects on duration in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay and on duration of hospitalization. - to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Cardioplexol.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During the surgical procedure | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - Evolution of TnT values during the first 24 hours following myocardial reperfusion. - Evolution of CK-MB values during the first 24 hours following myocardial reperfusion. - Time between the aortic cross-clamping and the complete cardiac arrest. - Cumulative dose of catecholamines during aortic cross-clamping. - Defibrillation rate after aorta unclamping and coronary reperfusion. - Cumulative dose of catecholamines during the first 24 hours following coronary reperfusion, starting calculation at ICU arrival. - Duration of ICU stay. - Mortality during the first 24 hours following coronary reperfusion - Safety (SAEs and AEs, Lab Parameters);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During the first 24 hours following coronary reperfusion or until ICU discharge (if discharge occurs before 24 hours). Safety is evaluated up to 30 days after the end of the surgery. | — |
