[Haptoglobin in the course of surgery with the heart lung machine (author's transl)]. 1977

E Heilmann, and A Wiesmann, and R Achatzy, and H Dittrich, and F Bender

In 20 patients, who underwent open heart surgery, the results of quantitavely and semi-quantitavely determined haptoglobin (hp) were evaluated. A rapid method (Rapi tex-Hp-Test, Behring-Werke) was used. Five minutes after the heart lung machine was cut off hp decreased slightly, and increased about 200% at the 4th day after operation, compared to the preoperative value. These changes were less pronounced in patients with prosthetic heart values. Blood transfusions did not influence the results. There is a significant correlation between the results of hp determined quantitatively and semi-quantitatively.

D006355 Heart-Lung Machine Apparatus that provides mechanical circulatory support during open-heart surgery, by passing the heart to facilitate surgery on the organ. The basic function of the machine is to oxygenate the body's venous supply of blood and then pump it back into the arterial system. The machine also provides intracardiac suction, filtration, and temperature control. Some of the more important components of these machines include pumps, oxygenators, temperature regulators, and filters.
