Abstract
In this thesis the components of the heart-lung machine for CPB operations have been tested for their effects on blood elements. The purpose of the experimental investigation in dogs is:
1. To determine the hematological alterations induced
by the various components from which an extracorporeal
circuit for CPB is composed (circuit materials,
blood pumps, oxygenators and cardiotomy
suction devices) in concentrations and functions
of blood cells and in fibrin formation.
2. To compose an optimal extracorporeal circuit for cardiac surgery by putting together the least traumatic components and to prove its hematological superiority. ...
