Abstract

Conventional ultrafiltration (CUF) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is intended to remove excess water and increase hematocrit. Packed red cell transfusion has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality following cardiac surgery. The purpose of this study is to compare the volume of packed red cell transfusion during CPB with and without CUF in adult cardiac surgery. The study was conducted on 280 adult patients who had undergone heart surgery, divided into 140 who used the CUB plus CPB and 140 who used CPB only. The results for the group that underwent CPB with CUF showed a mean filtration volume of 1,574.46 ± 961.45 ml. The group that underwent CPB with CUF had a significantly higher volume of packed red cell transfusion than the group that underwent CPB alone, with statistical significance (3.31 ± 0.15 units vs. 2.60 ± 0.14 units, p < 0.001). In summary, CUF during CPB did not lead to a reduction in packed red cell transfusion. However, conventional hemofiltration can be safely used to reduce fluid accumulation and increase hemoglobin levels
