    AbstractResults are presented of individualized anticoagulatory management during open heart surgery in two groups of 20 patients comparing colloid versus non-colloid priming of the extracorporeal circuit. Advantages of individualized dosages of heparin according to a constructed dose response curve and controlled by measuring Activated Coagulation Times (ACT) were safer adaptation to individual variability in heparin sensitivity, reduction of incremental heparin doses during cardiopulmonary by-pass and nearly 50% reduction of protamine dosage as compared to conventional heparinprotamin protocols. No significant influence of the type of priming used in the extracorporeal circuit on coagulatory behaviour could be detected.
