First seen Mar 18, 2026 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study looks at whether giving a lower dose of protamine (a drug that reverses the blood thinner heparin) after heart-lung bypass is safe and effective. About 195 adults having planned heart surgery will be randomly assigned to one of three protamine doses. The goal is to see if a lower dose can still reverse heparin well while causing fewer side effects like bleeding or unstable blood pressure.
