Postoperative Bloodloss Clinical Trial
Official title:
Minimal Extracorporeal Circuits (MECC) in Cardiac Surgery Procedures
The standard heart-lung machine is a major trigger of systemic inflammatory reactions,
hemodilution, coagulopathy or organ failure. The strict reduction of blood-artificial
surface and blood-air contact might represent meaningful improvements of the extracorporeal
technology with respect to organ preservation.
The aim of this study is the evaluation of potential differences between a minimal
extracorporeal circuit (MECC) and a conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (MOPS) system.
