Supports Quantum HF-6700 adoption in CABG for smaller priming volume; confirms comparable performance to HF-5700 in RCT.
Does the Quantum HF-6700 oxygenator maintain comparable oxygen transfer, haemolysis, and platelet function compared to the HF-5700 oxygenator in adults undergoing elective first-time CABG?
The Quantum HF-6700 oxygenator provides comparable gas exchange and biocompatibility to the HF-5700 during CPB, with the advantage of a smaller priming volume.
