An assessor-blinded randomized trial of 80 children compared SBUF-SMUF with conventional ultrafiltration during cardiac surgery. The combined technique achieved a more negative crystalloid fluid
The ULTRA randomized controlled trial evaluated whether high-exchange subzero-balance ultrafiltration (H-SBUF) during pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass improves recovery compared with low-exchange SBUF. In 104 children
This study explores geographic differences in ultrafiltration (UF) use during cardiopulmonary bypass in the US, analyzing data from 92,859 cardiac surgeries across four regions.
This study investigates the relationship between intraoperative ultrafiltration (UF) volume during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) post-coronary artery
Ultrafiltration (UF) during cardiopulmonary bypass for cardiac surgery was found to enhance coagulation profiles by increasing clot firmness, as evidenced by significant rises in
A study developed an ultrafiltration membrane method to measure colloid osmotic pressure (COP) and compared it with colloidal osmometer measurements, finding high accuracy, reproducibility,
