Modified Ultrafiltration Reduces Postoperative Morbidity After Cavopulmonary Connection

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1997
Modified ultrafiltration reduces the deleterious effects of cardiopulmonary bypass in children. Patients undergoing repair of single-ventricle cardiac anomalies may be particularly sensitive to these adverse effects, and benefit from the use of modified ultrafiltration.From January 1995 to June 1996, 120 consecutive cavopulmonary operations were ...

Novel modified PVDF ultrafiltration flat-sheet membranes

Journal of Membrane Science, 2012
Abstract Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) ultrafiltration membranes were modified using a new type of hydrophilic polyurethane additive, called L2MM. During phase inversion L2MM migrates to the membrane surface and functions as both a pore former and surface modifier.

Is the combination of conventional ultrafiltration and modified ultrafiltration superior to modified ultrafiltration in pediatric open-heart surgery?

Journal of Medical Society, 2023
ABSTRACT Background: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during open-heart surgery is associated with increased body fluids as a consequence of hemodilution due to the use of CPB. Ultrafiltration (UF) is a method used to decrease the body fluid volume on CPB. Aims and Objectives:

Simple modified ultrafiltration

Perfusion, 2000
After reviewing all available methods of modified ultrafiltration (MUF), an attempt was made to develop a more simplified approach to this beneficial method of post-bypass fluid removal by withdrawing blood from the right atrium and reinfusing into the aortic cannula (venoarterial). The simplicity of operation, ease of setup and analysis of hemoglobin,

Modified ultrafiltration in paediatric cardiac surgery

Perfusion, 1998
The effect of modified ultrafiltration (MUF) after cardiopulmonary bypass for paediatric cardiac surgery was evaluated in 138 children with moderate to severe congenital heart disease. The median age was 0.4 years (0 days to 6.5 years), and the weight 5.3 kg (2.2-20 kg).

Modified ultrafiltration in paediatric cardiopulmonary bypass

Perfusion, 1998
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), a nonphysiological procedure, is associated with haemodilution and the inflammatory response, causing the accumulation of body water and organ dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of modified ultrafiltration.

A Simplified Circuit of Modified Ultrafiltration

Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2007
A simplified circuit of modified ultrafiltration (MUF) is described. The technique described is simple, inexpensive, allows both conventional ultrafiltration (CUF) and modified ultrafiltration with minimum manipulation of the circuit, allows re-institution of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in an emergency, reduces the risk of air embolism and air ...

Performing Modified Ultrafiltration on Pediatric Patients

AORN Journal, 2002
ABSTRACTPediatric patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery often retain excessive fluid postoperatively, which results in negative outcomes. Modified ultrafiltration (MUF) is an innovative procedure performed at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, that is initiated immediately after CPB to reduce this fluid. This article provides a basic
