[Loss of thrombocytes in heart surgery with membrane and bubble oxygenators (author's transl)]. 1977

D Birnbaum, and H Keilbach, and E S Bücherl

Thrombocyte levels of patients undergoing open heart surgery were studied to compare effects of a bubble with a membrane oxygenator. Loss of platelets, which is not explained by hemodilution, is smaller in membrane oxygenation and normal level of platelets is readily established postoperatively compared to conventional bubble oxygenation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010106 Oxygenators Devices which mechanically oxygenate venous blood extracorporeally. They are used in combination with one or more pumps for maintaining circulation during open heart surgery and for assisting the circulation in patients seriously ill with some cardiac and pulmonary disorders. (UMDNS, 1999) Oxygenator
D010107 Oxygenators, Membrane Devices in which blood and oxygen are separated by a semipermeable membrane, generally of Teflon or polypropylene, across which gas exchange occurs. The membrane may be arranged as a series of parallel plates or as a number of hollow fibers; in the latter arrangement, the blood may flow inside the fibers, which are surrounded by gas, or the blood may flow outside the fibers and the gas inside the fibers.
