Modified ultrafiltration may limit fluid gain after pediatric CPB; hypothesis-generating and requires RCTs before changing practice.
Does modified ultrafiltration reduce the rise in total body water and elevate haematocrit compared to conventional ultrafiltration in children undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass?
