Abstract Pediatric Literature As the practice of ultrafiltration arose from pediatric cardiac surgery, much of the evidence to support MUF is from low-powered pediatric studies. Some early, single-center literature, as..

Abstract Hemodilution and Volume Overload The use of CPB necessitates priming of the CPB circuit, which is typically accomplished using 1-to-2 liters of a crystalloid solution. In addition, 1-to-3 liters..

Abstract Conventional ultrafiltration (UF) fails to reverse satisfactorily hemodilution and the rise in total body water (TBW) seen after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We have modified the technique, timing, and placement..

Abstract The surgical correction of congenital heart disease using haemodilution and hypothermia with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may expose patients to tissue ischaemia and initiate a systemic inflammatory response, increasing the..

Abstract Total body water (TBW) is increased after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) resulting in tissue oedema and organ dysfunction. Ultrafiltration has been used to reduce this accumulation of water, although conventional..
