Summary

The purpose of this research is to determine if two commonly used medications to treat metabolic acidosis in the setting of cardiac surgery, sodium bicarbonate and THAM, are equivalent.

Conditions

  • Metabolic Acidosis

Interventions

DRUG

Sodium bicarbonate

Patients in the ICU following cardiothoracic surgery with use of cardiopulmonary bypass and requiring treatment for metabolic acidosis (base excess less than -5), will receive sodium bicarbonate (Bicarb) if randomized to the Bicarb arm.

DRUG

Tris-hydroxymethyl Aminomethane

Patients in the ICU following cardiothoracic surgery with use of cardiopulmonary bypass, requiring treatment for metabolic acidosis (base excess less than -5), will receive tris-hydroxymethyl aminomethane (THAM) if randomized to the THAM arm.
