Plasmapheresis performed weeks before an operation producing autologous plasma has
proved to be of benefit in elective operations. First experiences in acute plasmapheresis …

Intraoperative hemodilution (IH) and autologous platelet rich plasma (APRP) collection are
two techniques used to obtain autologous blood in the operating room. They have been …

Massive diffuse bleeding is still a problem in cardiovascular surgery. The first line treatment
is platelet concentrate transfusion, although there is still insufficient information regarding …

Study Objective: To determine, in a pilot study, whether pheresis of plasma and platelets
before surgical blood loss, with reinfusion of the autologous plasma and platelets after …

Objective: Cardiopulmonary bypass can result in hemodilution due to the crystalloid prime,
increasing the need for blood transfusion. Alternative perfusion techniques have the …

Platelet dysfunction and loss of procoagulants and platelets leads to impaired hemostasis
after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Preoperative platelet sequestration delays surgery …

Background. Cardiac revascularization on a beating heart avoids the side effects of
cardiopulmonary bypass (eg, neurologic injury, hemodilution, and coagulopathy). We …

The major cause of nonsurgical bleeding after cardiopulmonary bypass is delayed recovery
of platelet count and function. Recovery of platelet count and function was compared in 27 …

Background Preoperative patients' characteristics can predict the need for perioperative
blood component transfusion in cardiac surgical operations. The aim of this prospective …
