Background & Objective: Bleeding is a common complication during heart surgery, and management of heparin and protamine consumption during operation affects hemeostasis. The dosage of protamine sulfate is variable based on the amount of heparin used and studies have reported different results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of protamine sulfate administration after cardiac surgery on the drainage of the patient's blood secretions.
Methods: In this retrospective cross- sectional study, required data from 120 medical records patients, from 2011 to 2020 undergoing heart surgery, for example CABG, was extracted and examined. Patients were grouped (60 people in each group) and compared based on protamine sulfate intake and not receiving it, in the intensive care unit and body mass index, age, sex, ACT values and blood drainage rate.
Results: 76 (63.37%) patients were male and 44 (36.66%) patients were female. Most patients were in the age range of 50-70 years and most patients were overweight. Blood drainage in the protamine group was significantly lower than the control group. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of ACT values. Blood drainage in the protamine group was significantly lower in normal BMI and overweight individuals than in the control group. The amount of blood drained in the protamine group in women and in people over 70 years was significantly lower than the control group.
Conclusion: despite previous studies, our study showed a reduction in the amount of postoperative bleeding following re-prescribing of protamine sulfate in the intensive care unit, which eliminated the effect of heparin and the coagulation disorder caused by heparin. The limitations of the present study included patients under 12 years of age, patients weighing more than 120 kg, and patients requiring hypothermia treatment less than 28 Cº.
