This study evaluates the effect of balanced ultrafiltration, modified ultrafiltration, and balanced ultrafiltration with modified ultrafiltration on inflammatory mediators in children’s open-heart surgery. Eighty children with congenital heart disease were randomly divided into four groups: control group (C group); balanced ultrafiltration group (BUF ...

Modified Ultrafiltration Versus Conventional Ultrafiltration: A Randomized Prospective Study In Neonatal Piglets [PDF]
Cardiopulmonary bypass in neonates generates large increases in inflammatory mediators, causing edema formation that may lead to multiple organ dysfunction. Clinical strategies aimed at removing inflammatory mediators, reducing edema formation, and improving organ function include conventional and modified ultrafiltration.This study examines the ...

Venoarterial modified ultrafiltration versus conventional arteriovenous modified ultrafiltration during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. [PDF]
Different types of modified ultrafiltration (MUF) systems evaluated showed that none of the MUF techniques adhered to the normal venous to arterial blood flow dynamics. This study compared a conventional arteriovenous modified ultrafiltration (AVMUF) system to a custom- designed venoarterial modified ultrafiltration (VAMUF) system.Randomized ...

Effects of modified ultrafiltration and conventional ultrafiltration combination on perioperative clinical outcomes in pediatric cardiac surgery: A meta-analysis. [PDF]
Abstract Background: This meta-analysis was performed to review the effects of the addition of modified ultrafiltration (MUF) and conventional ultrafiltration (CUF) to CUF alone on postoperative hemoglobin, surgical and ultrafiltration data, and postoperative clinical outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac ...

The effect of modified ultrafiltration on angiopoietins in pediatric cardiothoracic operations. [PDF]
Cardiopulmonary bypass subjects patients' blood to hemodilution and nonphysiologic conditions, resulting in a systemic inflammatory response. Modified ultrafiltration (MUF) counteracts hemodilution and has also been postulated to improve outcomes by proinflammatory cytokine removal. The objective of this study was to investigate whether the benefits of

Modified Ultrafiltration in Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Cardiopulmonary bypass in children is frequently associated with increased capillary permeability resulting in increased total body water, tissue edema, and organ dysfunction. Hemodilution also occurs and may require transfusion. Modified ultrafiltration utilizes the extracorporeal circuit to perform hemofiltration of the patient immediately following ...

Modified ultrafiltration in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery [PDF]
A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was the impact of modified ultrafiltration on adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery in terms of inflammatory and metabolic changes, blood loss and early clinical outcomes.

Modified Ultrafiltration PostExtracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Modified ultrafiltration (MUF) has been widely used for the removal of extracellular water in the immediate postcardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) period. The reported benefits of this technique are improved hematological status and hemodynamic stability post-CPB, as well as a decrease in blood utilization during the operation.
