From: Pre-bypass ultrafiltration reduces cytokine burden of blood prime in pediatric cardiac surgery
Standardized cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit setup for all 22 patients. Prime samples were collected at the venous line during the priming process. Pre-bypass ultrafiltration (PBUF) effluent samples were directly taken from the hemofilter outlet at the end of the priming process.
