Reporting Groups
  Description
Lidocaine 1.5 mg /kg Subjects randomized to receive Lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg via the cardiopulmonary reservoir prior to the removal of the aortic cross clamp.
Amiodarone 300 mg Subjects randomized to receive Amiodarone 300 mg IV(followed by 150 mg IV if needed) via the cardiopulmonary reservoir prior to the removal of the aortic cross clamp.
Placebo (Saline) Subjects randomized to receive placebo (saline) via the cardiopulmonary reservoir prior to the removal of the aortic cross clamp.

[1] The planned operative procedure requiring cardiopulmonary bypass with aortic cross clamping.
[2] Participants could have received more than one preoperative medication, therefore the totals of all the medications are greater than the number of participants.
[3] Participants could have had more than one pre-existing condition, therefore the totals may be greater or less than the total number of participants in each group.

Limitations and Caveats
Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
Included a heterogeneous group of operations which possibly make our results applicable to “real world” perioperative care; dosing of amiodarone was higher than in previous investigations, but the dose may not have been large enough.
