IVIG
Those randomized to the study arm will receive a dose of IVIG 1 gram/kg at 12 hours post-cardiopulmonary bypass. This is a one time only dose. IVIG: Those randomized to the study arm will receive a one time dose of IVIG at 12 our post-Cardiopulmonary bypass. This is significantly early than our current standard of care.
Normal Saline
Subject's randomized into the placebo arm of the study will receive a volume of normal saline that is comparative to that if they were to receive IVIG. This will be at 12 hours post-cardiopulmonary bypass. This volume is to ensure blinding of study drug. Placebo: If the subject is randomized to the placebo group they will receive a volume of normal saline that is equivalent to the volume of IVIG to be administered based on their weight.

Timeframe: 0-24 hours post-CPB

The following fluid overload variables will be assessed in milliliters per kilogram at 0-24 hours post-cardiopulmonary bypass: blood product and albumin administration, chest tube output, urine output, peritoneal dialysis output, net fluid balance, and percent fluid overload. The total output the subject's produce (urine, chest tube, peritoneal drainage, etc.) will be subtracted from the total input (medications, blood products, albumin administration, etc) to determine the total fluid intake in milliliters. This total number will then be divided by the subject's weight in kilograms to determine the fluid overload in mL/kg.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: first 48 hours post-CPB

The average admit, 12 hour, 24 hour, and 48 hour post-operative inotrope score will be calculated excluding Milrinone. To calculate the inotrope score the following formula was used: (Epinephrine/Norepinephrine dose in mcg/kg/min x 100) + (Dopamine dose in mcg/kg/min x 1) + (Phenylephrine dose in mcg/kg/min x 10) + (Vasopressin dose unit/kg/hr x 60/10000). The higher the inotrope score the more cardiac support the subject requires. There is not a "normal" scale or range used for this calculation.

Subject's randomized into the placebo arm of the study will receive a volume of normal saline that is comparative to that if they were to receive IVIG. This will be at 12 hours post-cardiopulmonary bypass. This volume is to ensure blinding of study drug. Placebo: If the subject is randomized to the placebo group they will receive a volume of normal saline that is equivalent to the volume of IVIG to be administered based on their weight.
