Centrifugal pumps may reduce hemolysis and drainage in CABG; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does extracorporeal circulation with a centrifugal pump reduce hemolysis and blood trauma compared to a conventional roller pump in patients undergoing CABG surgery?
Centrifugal pumps appear superior to conventional roller pumps in reducing blood trauma and postoperative drainage during extracorporeal circulation for CABG surgery.
