Brief summary

This study is planned to medicate oral T3(Liothyronine)to the patients who are planned to have OPCAB(off- pump coronary bypass graft surgery. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of oral triiodothyronine (T3) therapy on postoperative thyroid hormone concentrations, hemodynamic variables and outcomes in patients undergoing OPCAB in a randomized, controlled trial.

Interventions

liothyronine sodium 20ug, every 12hour (before anesthetic induction, total 4 times)

DRUGplacebo

vitamin B12
