Popis: ObjectiveThe study was designed to determine differences in blood loss and transfusion associated with a minimized cardiopulmonary bypass circuit versus a standard bypass circuit.MethodsFrom February 2005 through April 2006, 199 patients were randomized to undergo coronary artery bypass grafting with a standard cardiopulmonary bypass circuit (Medtronic, Inc., Minneapolis, Minn) or a minimized bypass circuit, the Medtronic Resting Heart Circuit. Laboratory perimeters (hemoglobin and platelet count), were measured at baseline, after initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass, and on intensive care unit admission. Lowest values recorded were noted. Blood administration was controlled by study-specific protocol orders, (transfusion for hemoglobin
