Summary
Cardiopulmonary bypass is done with a machine that does the work of the heart and lungs
during open-heart surgery. This study is to determine if intravenous (i.v.) phenoxybenzamine
is safe. This drug lowers the blood pressure, making it easier for the cardiopulmonary bypass
machine to deliver blood and oxygen to all of the organs and tissues.
