Summary
This study looked at how to best give the blood thinner heparin to obese patients during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The standard dose based on total body weight can lead to too much heparin and more bleeding. Researchers tested a dose based on ideal body weight in 60 obese patients to see if it keeps heparin levels safer and reduces bleeding and transfusions.
