Request Report Methodology
Hemoconcentrators, also referred to as hemofilters or ultrafiltration devices, which contain a semipermeable membrane that allows passage of water and electrolytes out of the blood. They are used in lieu of diuretics to remove excess fluid or electrolytes and to raise the hematocrit of the perfusate. Hemoconcentrators can be connected to the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit (CPB) in different configurations. Blood can be drawn from the venous line, the arterial line, or the systemic flow line, and the filtered blood may be transferred through the venous line or the cardiotomy or venous reservoirs.
