Abstract

Cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with hemodilution and contact activation through the surface of the tubing system. Both may contribute to blood loss and perioperative transfusion requirements. When the extracorporeal circuit is adapted from an open to a closed system, and tubing has biocompatible coating, there is less hemostatic activation. Moreover, retrograde and antegrade autologous priming reduce the impact of hemodilution. All three modalities may contribute to less transfusion requirements, and should be considered as part of a patient blood management program.
