Blood Filtration During Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Particulate microembolization during extracorporeal circulation is thought to contribute to cerebral, pulmonary and other post-operative complications following cardiac surgical procedures. 11° Factors which have been implicated in microembolic phenomena during cardiopulmonary bypass include: 1 ) transfusion of stored blood ,I· 2 ' '· 11 ' ' 3 22 2) formation of platelet aggregates in the patie...

Continuous blood cell separation by hydrophoretic filtration.

We propose a new hydrophoretic method for continuous blood cell separation using a microfluidic device composed of slanted obstacles and filtration obstacles. The slanted obstacles have a larger height and gap than the particles in order to focus them to a sidewall by hydrophoresis. In the successive structure, the height and gap of the filtration obstacles with a filtration pore are set betwee...

Blood cell aggregation and screen filtration pressure.

Blood filtration: new opportunities and the implications of systems biology.

Medical blood filtration therapies include haemodialysis, haemofiltration and therapeutic plasmapheresis. These membrane technologies have been available for decades and the industries supporting them are mature. The therapies focus on the removal of specific components that are known (or thought) to be involved in the particular disease state. Recent studies of the human genome and proteome ha...
