Key result
Venous piggyback technique serves as an effective first-line temporizing measure for oxygenator failure during CPB.
Why the study?
A review revealed the lack of a unified intervention algorithm for failure to oxygenate during cardiopulmonary bypass.
Does the venous piggyback technique provide an effective temporizing measure for oxygenator failure during cardiopulmonary bypass compared to traditional change-out?

May offer a practical temporizing option for oxygenator failure; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Does the venous piggyback technique provide an effective temporizing measure for oxygenator failure during cardiopulmonary bypass compared to traditional change-out?
The venous piggyback technique offers a safe, temporizing alternative to emergent oxygenator change-out during cardiopulmonary bypass failure.
Matte et al. (2024) conducted a review in Oxygenator failure during cardiopulmonary bypass. Venous piggyback technique was evaluated. The venous piggyback technique, sourcing blood from the venous limb of the circuit, serves as an effective first-line temporizing intervention for oxygenator failure during cardiopulmonary bypass.
