Abstract Background Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) and retrograde autologous priming (RAP) are blood conservation techniques designed to reduce transfusion requirements. Purpose This study evaluated the impact of combining ANH and..

Abstract During retrograde autologous priming (RAP), some patients develop hypotension and hemodynamic instability, which impedes the procedure. This study aimed to demonstrate the effects of RAP on transfusion requirements and..

Abstract Introduction Retrograde Autologous Priming (RAP) of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuits is an effective way to reduce prime volume, commonly through the transfer of prime into separate reservoirs or circuit..

Abstract Objectives To investigate the effect of retrograde autologous priming (RAP) on coagulation function using rotation thromboelastometry (ROTEM) in patients undergoing valvular cardiac surgery. Design A prospective, randomized, patient- and outcome assessor-blinded study...

Abstract Background The use of crystalloid priming for extracorporeal circuit in adult cardiac surgery causes inevitable haemodilution. The haemodilution can be reduced by using methods such as retrograde autologous priming..

Abstract Objectives Little is known about the safety and clinical utility of retrograde autologous priming (RAP) in patients undergoing minimally invasive mitral valve surgery. We hypothesized that RAP would increase..

Abstract Background: During the last decades many efforts have been made to reduce transfusion requirements and adverse clinical effects during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The minimal extracorporeal circulation (MECC) system and the..

Abstract Retrograde autologous priming (RAP) is a process used to reduce hemodilution associated with the initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Previous studies have reported potential benefits to RAP; however, many..

Abstract Background Adult cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation is known to be associated with increased risk of blood transfusion leading to adverse outcomes. Procedures like retrograde autologous priming (RAP) may..
