In patients undergoing open heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, monitor coagulation status and discontinue use at the first sign of coagulopathy due to reported excess bleeding. Be aware that elevated serum amylase values may occur, potentially interfering with the diagnosis of pancreatitis. Monitor closely on liver and kidney functions, serum electrolytes, and fluid balance to avoid negative complications.
