Key result
Emergency oxygenator changeovers during cardiopulmonary bypass occurred at an incidence of 1 in 4055 cases (1990-1992) and 1 in 4634 cases (1994-1996), often associated with aprotinin use or leaks.

Yes
Emergency oxygenator changeovers are rare but potentially hazardous events during cardiopulmonary bypass, occurring in approximately 1 in 4000 to 4600 cases.
Anthony Fisher (1999) conducted an observational in Cardiopulmonary bypass (n=166,250). Cardiopulmonary bypass was evaluated on Incidence of emergency oxygenator changeovers. Emergency oxygenator changeovers during cardiopulmonary bypass occurred at an incidence of 1 in 4055 cases (1990-1992) and 1 in 4634 cases (1994-1996), often associated with aprotinin use or leaks.
