Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 304085 0
Maximum Clot Firmness (MCF) on the ROTEM blood test
Timepoint [1] 304085 0
7 day after study intervention (both immediately before surgery after induction of anaesthesia and immediately after surgery on admission to the intensive care unit).
All MCF results at three study time points (pre-intervention, 7 days after taking resveratrol and immediately after surgery) will be used in the Repeated Measures of ANOVA analysis to generate one p value when comparing the treatment and placebo group.
