Abstract Introduction: Modified ultrafiltration (MUF) is employed at the termination of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in pediatric and neonatal patients undergoing congenital heart surgery to reduce the accumulation of total body..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Red blood cell transfusion is common and associated with adverse outcomes for cardiac surgery, while present blood conservation guidelines have not been fully implemented until now. This study..
