The Influence of Oxygenator Type and Priming Volume on Blood Requirements

Predictors of Postoperative Hematocrit and Association of Hematocrit with Adverse Outcomes for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Patients with Cardiopulmonary Bypass

“…Measures to maintain high hematocrit such as increased attention to blood loss during phlebotomy and cardiac catheterization, the redesign of CPB circuits to better match patients' BSA, the timing of the return of collected blood, peri-operative management of colloids and crystalloids to avoid excessive hemodilution, and retrograde priming of the CPB circuit with autologous blood should be considered. 3,5,7,[17][18][19] Future studies should be aimed at determining the modifiable reasons for low hematocrit values, and what can be done to prevent them while controlling for the impact of transfusions.…”

Perfusion Approaches to Blood Conservation

“…This would limit the technique to smaller patients (< 70 kg). 5,11 The second method of prime reduction is the use of minicircuits. These systems typically have smaller components, and they exclude the use of a cardiotomy reservoir.…”

“…Other issues, such as war, diminishing blood banks, the transmission of infectious sequalae, immunological responses, and incompatibility, further emphasized reducing the use of allogenic blood products. 3,5,6 The introduction of an asanguinous prime brought about a new concern. The patients were now severely hemodiluted.…”
