*No difference between time points at the pairwise analysis; **P < .05 in comparison with baseline

Data are presented as mean (SD). Values are intended as measured on patients’ blood if not otherwise indicated. P-values refer to test for trend across all the available sample times.

ACT, activated clotting time; s-Ca2+, systemic ionized calcium; c-Ca2+, circuit ionized calcium; CaCl2, calcium chloride infusion; HCO3, bicarbonate; NA, not available.
