title: Use of the Quest Myocardial Protection System (MPS) for modified ultrafiltration during pediatric cardiac surgery.
abstract: Modified ultrafiltration generally is considered a standard of care for treating children undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass for congenital heat surgery. Different methods, incorporating a variety of devices and technologies, have been described. The present report describes a technique of modified ultrafiltration using arterial-venous flow with the Quest Myocardial Protection System (MPS).
