Perioperative Blood Management during Cardiopulmonary Bypass (EP Video)
The management of perioperative blood during CPB can complement or negate other strategies to improve biocompatibility. While not possible on every case, simple techniques and circuit designs can give perfusionists options to manage perioperative blood. This presentation will discuss those options and share clinical experience using them (10:22 minutes).
