TLDR
N-MUF improved general platelet aggregation and reduced postoperative blood loss in a significant manner, however, performing N- MUF did not result in less postoperative transfusion requirements.

The effect of normovolemic modified ultrafiltration on inflammatory mediators, endotoxins, terminal complement complexes and clinical outcome in high-risk cardiac surgery patients

TL;DR: N-MUF leads to a significant reduction of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein and terminal complement complex and was associated with reduced blood loss and postoperative lactate concentrations shortly after surgery.

Patient Blood Management in Cardiac Surgery

TL;DR: To optimize the risk-benefit ratio of allogeneic blood transfusion and to reduce associated costs, the implementation of PBM programs compromising a multidisciplinary and multifactorial approach including interventions before, during, and after surgery is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Platelet Function in Stored Heparinised Autologous Blood Is Not Superior to in Patient Platelet Function during Routine Cardiopulmonary Bypass

TL;DR: Ex vivo preservation of autologous blood in unfractionated heparin does not seem to be profitable to preserve platelet function.

The electronic aggregometer: a novel device for assessing platelet behavior in blood.

TL;DR: The new technique is very suitable for investigating platelet pharmacology, since the inhibitors of aggregation, such as indomethacin and prostacyclin, can be conveniently quantitated in blood by using this technique.

Reexploration for bleeding is a risk factor for adverse outcomes after cardiac operations.

TL;DR: Reexploration for bleeding was identified as a strong independent risk factor for operative mortality and application of recently developed modalities designed to facilitate perioperative correction of coagulopathy could improve outcomes after cardiac operations.

The inflammatory response to cardiopulmonary bypass: part 1--mechanisms of pathogenesis.

TL;DR: What was once a perilous, experimental procedure has been transformed into a relatively standard medical act, performed on more than half a million patients worldwide per year, because of a number of major factors.

High-volume, zero-balanced hemofiltration to reduce delayed inflammatory response to cardiopulmonary bypass in children.

TL;DR: It is suggested that hemofiltration exerts some beneficial clinical effects that are not due to water removal and the role of the early removal of factors triggering the inflammatory response, rather than a direct removal of cytokines, deserves further investigation.
