Abstract
The use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can be associated with significant hemodilution, coagulopathy and a systemic inflammatory response for infants and children undergoing cardiac surgery. Intra-operative ultrafiltration has been used for decades to ameliorate these harmful effects. The novel combination of a continuous and non-continuous form of ultrafiltration, Subzero Balance Simple Modified Ultrafiltration (SBUF-SMUF) here described, seeks to enhance recovery from pediatric cardiac surgery and CPB.
