First Clinical Experience With the Air Purge Control and Electrical Remote-controlled Tubing Clamp in Mini Bypass
The air purge control, in conjunction with the electrical remote clamp, is a valuable safety feature in mini bypass, enhancing patient safety and user friendliness while providing a level of safety equivalent to those of conventional bypass systems.
Pericardial Suction Blood Separation Attenuates Inflammatory Response and Hemolysis After Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We investigated various indicators of inflammation and blood cell activation associated with CPB and re-transfusion of PSB during cardiac surgery.
Effects of Cell Saver Autologous Blood Transfusion on Blood Loss and Homologous Blood Transfusion Requirements in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
In this randomised controlled study we investigated the effects of autologous cell saver blood transfusion on blood loss and homologous blood transfusion requirements in patients undergoing CABG on- versus off-CPB.
Effects of Cell Saver Autologous Blood Transfusion on Blood Loss and Homologous Blood Transfusion Requirements in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
In this randomised controlled study we investigated the effects of autologous cell saver blood transfusion on blood loss and homologous blood transfusion requirements in patients undergoing CABG on- versus off-CPB.
Autotransfusion With Cell Saver for Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Randomized Trial
Off-pump coronary surgery reduces transfusions, however, many patients still receive blood. This trial aims to clarify the effect of using a cell saver intraoperatively.

A Prospective, Randomized Platelet-Function Study of Heparinized Oxygenators and Cardiotomy Suction
The purpose of this study was to determine if substitution of a heparin-coated oxygenator and salvaged autologous blood for cardiotomy suction would improve platelet function.
Autologous Blood Transfusion for Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Effects of Storage Conditions on Platelet Function
The effects of citrate preservative and heparinization before storage on platelet function was therefore assessed.
An Evaluation of the Benefits of Pulsatile versus Nonpulsatile Perfusion during Cardiopulmonary Bypass Procedures in Pediatric and Adult Cardiac Patients
The objective of this investigation was to review the literature in order to clarify the truths and dispel the myths regarding the mode of perfusion used during open-heart surgery in pediatric and adult patients.
Prediction of Massive Blood Transfusion in Cardiac Surgery
The objective of this study was to develop a prediction rule for massive blood transfusion (MBT) that could be used to optimize the management of, and research on, at-risk patients.
Pulsatile Versus Nonpulsatile Cardiopulmonary Bypass Flow: An Evidence-Based Approach
To derive evidence-based recommendations for the use of pulsatile perfusion (PP) technique for the reduction of mortality and nonfatal complications after elective coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG).
Effect of Biopassive and Bioactive Surface-Coatings on the Hemocompatibility of Membrane Oxygenators
Improving the hemocompatibility of blood contacting devices used for ECC procedures may ameliorate various postpump syndromes.
