Acute preoperative plateletpheresis (APP), cell salvage (CS) technique, and the use of
aprotinin have been individually reported to be effective in reducing blood loss and blood …

Acute preoperative plateletpheresis has been reported to be effective in reducing blood loss
and blood component transfusion while improving haematological profiles in patients …

Platelet transfusion and aprotinin administration improve platelet function and clinical
hemostasis after extracorporeal circulation. To compare two methods of improving …

Preoperative platelet-rich plasmapheresis has been suggested as a means of reducing
homologous blood transfusions in cardiac surgical patients. The current study evaluated this …

OBJECTIVE: Withdrawal of autologous plasma and reinfusion aftercardiopulmonary bypass
(CPB) offers the opportunity of improving patients' haemostasis and reducing homologous …

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

contribute toward reduced blood loss and allogenic blood requirements after cardiac …

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

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

Blood conservation is an important aspect of care provided to the patients undergoing
cardiac operations with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). It is even more important in patients …
