Why the study?
Does cardiopulmonary bypass affect circulating concentrations of leucocyte elastase and free radical activity in adults?
Does cardiopulmonary bypass affect circulating concentrations of leucocyte elastase and free radical activity in adults?
Cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with pronounced changes in plasma elastase concentrations, suggesting neutrophil activation plays a central role in bypass-related organ dysfunction.
