Popis: Objective: To assess tolerance and preliminary efficacy of a perfluorocarbon emulsion (AF0144) used with acute normovolemic hemodilution to reduce allogeneic blood transfusion for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Design: Controlled, single-blind, parallel-group phase II dose escalation trial. Setting: Single-institution university medical center. Participants: Adult patients undergoing elective CABG surgery (n = 36). Interventions: A calculated volume of autologous whole blood was harvested for each patient with a target on-bypass hematocrit of 20% to 22%. Placebo, low-dose (1.8 g/kg) AF0144, or high-dose (2.7 g/kg) AF0144 was infused. During CPB, blood was transfused at protocol-defined triggers (hematocrit
