Brief summary

To determine the effect of modified ultrafiltration, which is usually employed for reducing free water at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), on coagulation profile in patients undergoing cardiac surgery

Interventions

At the end of CPB procedure, free water is partly removed by ultrafiltration to increase relative mass of red blood cell and plasma components.

Intervention model description

Patients with reduced clot strength before applying ultrafiltration (patients with MCF in ROTEM-EXTEM less than the cut-off value, determined by preliminary analyses, n=30). ROC analysis of the preliminary data was performed, and the cut-off value was 50.5 mm. The sample size of the present study is determined by using these data. The minimum sample size to detect the observed difference after applying ultrafiltration was 26. Considering 50% possible loss, 39 patients will be recruited for the primary analysis. Patients scheduled for elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass are recruited first, and the data from patients with MCF \<50.5 mm will be included in the final analysis.
