Summary

The aim of this study is to compare 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 in a balanced electrolyte solution (Volulyte®) with modified fluid gelatin (Geloplasma®) as the priming solution for the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit. The microvascular reactivity and the effects on tissue (StO2) and cerebral (ScO2) oxygen saturation will be examined using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).
