Brief Summary: Open-heart surgery frequently results in abnormal clotting which in turn results in excessive blood loss and the need for transfusion of multiple blood products to patients and leads to adverse outcomes Prompt identification of any clotting abnormalities after cardiac surgery reduces blood loss and blood product transfusion and may improve outcomes Currently however this monitoring is dependent on standard laboratory-based tests of clotting that have a long turnaround time 30-45 min and do not measure some important aspect of clotting There are now other monitoring options that are carried out at patients bedside providing results more quickly than standard laboratory tests within 2-5 minutes for some and measure more aspects of clotting providing more information on possible causes of any abnormalities In this study we will compare the cost-effectiveness of two of these newer monitoring techniques with standard laboratory-based tests by assigning 150 patients who will be undergoing open-heart surgery to one of the three monitoring techniques 50 patients will be assigned by chance to each group In each group an explicit algorithm based on the monitoring technique of that group will be used to guide all transfusion decisions Between-group differences in number of units of blood products transfused primary outcome amount of blood loss rate of adverse events and cost of monitoring will be measured The objective of the study is to determine which of the three methods is most cost-effective in terms of these outcomes
