Venoarterial modified ultrafiltration versus conventional arteriovenous modified ultrafiltration during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery

摘要

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVESDifferent types of modified ultrafiltration (MUF) systems evaluated showed that none of the MUF techniques adhered to the normal venous to arterial blood flow dynamics. This study compared a conventional arteriovenous modified ultrafiltration (AVMUF) system to a custom-designed venoarterial modified ultrafiltration (VAMUF) system.
