Effects of Modified Ultrafiltration on Coagulation as Measured by the Thromboelastograph
This study aimed to evaluate clot formation and strength, bleeding, and transfusions in adult subjects undergoing MUF. Nineteen subjects having primary coronary artery bypass, aortic, or mitral valve surgeries were recruited and randomized to having MUF (n = 10) or no-MUF (n = 9) performed after the termination of CPB.
