Abstract Introduction: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is known to cause a systemic inflammatory and immune response. Objective: An in-vitro model of cardiotomy suction was designed to quantify the effects of incrementally increased air-blood..
Read MoreAbstract Background: The major source of hemolysis during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remains the cardiotomy suction.1 Previous research has shown that the combination of negative pressures and the massive air-blood interface exponentially..
