title: [Bloodless open heart surgery using membrane oxygenator--the efficacy of ultrafiltration].
abstract: The efficacy of ultrafiltration (UF) in the attempt of total bloodless open heart surgery using membrane oxygenator (MO) was investigated in two groups. Group I (GI) consisted of 6 ASD operations between Dec. 1983 and Feb. 1987, which cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were performed without UF and with non-hemic priming of Capiox II MO. (Age; 18 +/- 2 (SD) years old, Body Weight; 53 +/- 6 kg, CPB; 77 +/- 24 min.) Group II (GII) consisted of 11 cases (4ASD, 1VSD, 4MS/MR (2MVR), 2AR (2AVR] between Mar. 1987 and Sep. 1988, which CPB were performed with UF in 9 cases and with non-hemic priming of CML/VPCML MO. (Age; 34 +/- 20 yo, Body Weight; 52 +/- 12 kg, CPB; 112 +/- 54 min). Total bloodless surgery were successful in 9 cases (82%) of GII against in only one case (17%) of GI (p less than 0.05). The hematocrit values of successful 9 cases in GII were 40 +/- 2% before operations, more than 19 +/- 3% during CPB, 33 +/- 4% just after operations, and more than 29 +/- 3% through the postoperative course. Blood loss during operations were 1013 +/- 586 ml in GI, and 659 +/- 388 ml in GII (NS). Blood loss after operations were 696 +/- 283 ml in GI and 478 +/- 284 ml in GII (NS). In successful 9 cases of GII, blood loss after operations were 387 +/- 215 ml, significantly less than that in GI (p less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
