Ultrafiltration and pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass
Cardiology in the Young, 1993The technique of modified ultrafiltration is a more efficient application of the concept of ultrafiltration during cardiopulmonary bypass. It has been shown to be superior to the conventional method of ultrafiltration.The method can save considerable quantities of donor blood by returning not only the red cells, but also the white cells, platelets, and

Biocompatibility in cardiopulmonary bypass
Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 1997Recent advances in surgical techniques and perfusion technology allow cardiac operations to be performed routinely with low mortality rates. However, patients undergoing cardiac operations with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are still associated with bleeding disorders, thrombotic complications, massive fluid shifts, and the activation of blood ...

Update on cardiopulmonary bypass
Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2001Investigations into cardiopulmonary bypass continue to refine knowledge and clinical practice. Recent investigations have emphasized neurological complications, introducing the possibility of genetic predisposition as a risk factor. Appropriate flows, pressures, and hematocrit levels during cardiopulmonary bypass continue to create controversy. Whereas

Cardiopulmonary Bypass and the Brain
1996The interaction between cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and the brain deserves discussion because the available literature suggests that stroke occurs with an incidence ranging from 2% to as much as 10% (1). In addition, the rate of neuropsychologic dysfunction shortly after cardiopulmonary bypass can exceed 50%.

Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Cardioplegia
2007This chapter describes the history and techniques of cardiopulmonary bypass, a process that effectually excludes the heart from the general circulation and leaves it empty so that it can accommodate open cardiac surgical intervention. Since its first implementation, cardiopulmonary bypass has improved significantly to become a very highly sophisticated,
