To study the effect of plasma sequestration and reinfusion of platelet-rich plasma on blood
loss after cardiopulmonary bypass, 18 patients undergoing heart operations were randomly …

Withdrawal of autologous plasma offers the possibility of improving patients' hemostasis and
of reducing homologous blood consumption in cardiac surgery. The influence of acute …

Objective This study aimed to explore the effects of platelet-rich plasmapheresis (PRP) on
the amount of postoperative blood loss and the requirements for allogeneic fresh frozen …

Platelet dysfunction is the most common cause of nonsurgical bleeding after
cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We hypothesized that reinfusion of a therapeutic quantity of …

Twenty units of fresh whole blood were separated into fresh packed red blood cells (PC) and
platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and were transfused to 40 patients immediately after coronary …

OBJECTIVES: Blood conservation remains an important issue for patientsundergoing
cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Plateletsequestration (PSQ) is an aggressive …

Objective: To examine whether specific platelet pheresis (minimal plasma harvested) would
contribute toward reduced blood loss and allogenic blood requirements after cardiac …

Intraoperative platelet-rich plasmapheresis allows autotransfusion of fresh, undamaged
platelets and clotting factors at the completion of the operation. To evaluate this technology …

BACKGROUND: Transfusing fresh autologous blood during cardiac surgery may improve
hemostasis and decrease the need for transfusion. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: A …

BACKGROUND.: A combination of several techniques is necessary to minimize the
transfusion requirements for open heart operations. The benefit of plasmapheresis remains …
