Official Title: Impact of Fluid Restriction Policy Added to Intra-Operative Cell Salvage in Reducing the Use of Red Cells in Cardiac Surgery

Brief Summary: The investigators' hypothesis is that restriction of circulating fluids in comparison to a liberal fluid administration policy would lead to a reduction of allogenic red blood cells exposure in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for primary coronary artery bypass graft supported by reinfusion of washed shed blood from thoracic cavities.
