A Quick Reference Tool for Goal-Directed Perfusion in Cardiac Surgery
Traditionally, blood flow rates on cardiopulmonary bypass are based primarily on a formula that matches cardiac index to the patient's body surface area (BSA).
World's Largest Resource for Cardiovascular Perfusion
Traditionally, blood flow rates on cardiopulmonary bypass are based primarily on a formula that matches cardiac index to the patient's body surface area (BSA).
We aimed to determine if the air handling capability of the Quadrox D oxygenator was dependent upon whether it was used in conjunction with a centrifugal or roller pump; and if application of a Pall air eliminating filter (AEF) would prevent circuit air introduction from intravenous infusions.
