Continuous cell saver reduces cognitive decline after cabg surgery

Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Blood collected in cardiotomy suction contains high levels of cellular debris and lipid microparticulates, which have been shown to cause embolization of the brain blood vessels. If shed blood was processed with a cell-saver device, it considerably reduced cerebral lipid embolization. The objective of this study was to determine if replacement of cardiotomy suction with a continuous flow cell-saver device would reduce cognitive decline in elderly patients after elective CABG surgery. METHODS: Aft… Show more
