BACKGROUND.: Blood conservation remains an important element for patients undergoing
cardiac operations with cardiopulmonary bypass. Preoperative platelet-rich plasma (PRP) …

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 …

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 …

Preoperative harvesting and postoperative reinfusion of autologous platelet rich plasma
(PRP) has been reported to decrease blood loss as well as the requirement for homologous …

A comparison of intraoperative autologous blood conservation techniques was carried out in
100 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. To facilitate comparisons of similar …

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

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 …

Prior nonblinded studies have suggested dramatic hemostatic effects and decreased
plasma after cardiopulmonary bypass. Platelet rich plasma (8 to 10 ml/kg total body weight) …

Abstract The Southern Arizona Red Cross Blood program, in conjunction with participating
hospitals and cardiac surgeons, evaluated the effect of a program to harvest autologous …
