NCT01864395 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 90

Last updated 2013-05-29

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

It is hypothesized that on-line modified ultrafiltration (MUFF) post-cardiopulmonary bypass will result in improved patient outcomes over the 12-hour post-operative period as compared to control and off-line MUFF.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Centrifugation Method

Currently used to separate whole blood into red blood cells (RBCs) and plasma components. The RBCs are washed with normal saline and re-infused into the patient, while the plasma portion is discarded.

PROCEDURE

Online MUF

Hemofilter is used online while the heart-lung machine is connected to the patient.

PROCEDURE

Offline MUF

Hemofilter is used offline when the heart-lung machine is not connected to the patient.
