Extracorporeal Circulation; Complications
Conditions
Brief summary
In this study the investigators will study two dosages of heparin before extracorporeal circulation in open chest cardiac surgery.
Detailed description
In this study the investigators will study two dosages of heparin before extracorporeal circulation in open chest cardiac surgery. The first dosage will be 300 IU per kilogram of REAL weight, the second dosage will be 300 IU per kilogram of IDEAL weight.
Interventions
Measure of ACT in the two arms in order to determine if injection of heparin based on ideal weight is better or not than those one on real weight.
