Population
142 adults who had undergone cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass
Comparison
Presence of fibrinolysis after coming off bypass vs Absence of fibrinolysis
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
early after cardiopulmonary bypass (intensive care stay)

May warrant closer monitoring in fibrinolytic cardiac surgery patients; leaves open causal role and intervention targets.
Is fibrinolysis after cardiopulmonary bypass associated with worse clinical outcomes in adults undergoing cardiac surgery?
Fibrinolysis early after cardiopulmonary bypass may be an indicator of poor outcomes and systemic inflammation syndrome, warranting closer intensive care monitoring.
Cvachovec et al. (2000) studied this question.
