Optimal Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Anticoagulation Management Strategies in Obese Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

Sponsor: Laval University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Standard Heparin management, based on total body weight, is not well established for obese patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of using lean body mass (LBM) to determine pump flow rate and/or Heparin dosage in obese patients undergoing CPB.
