Role of Prophylactic N-Acetylcysteine Supplementation on Postoperative Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Elective Double-Valve Replacement (Aortic and Mitral Valve).

Aims And Objectives: The incidence of postoperative liver dysfunction is high in patients undergoing double-valve replacement - mitral and aortic valve replacement (DVR). This study aims to evaluate N-acetylcysteine's free radical scavenging property (NAC) to prevent postoperative liver dysfunction in these patients, thus affecting overall clinical outcomes.

Methods: A single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blinded interventional study of 60 patients divided into two groups of 30 each.
