CASE STUDY: Do You Know Your Perfusion Circuit's 'Net RAP Efficiency'?
To help improve patient outcomes, Sean Murtha, CCP, now selects the perfusion circuit based on patient size and uses a more efficient RAP procedure based on a smaller circuit prime volume.

CASE STUDY: Bloodless Cardiac Surgery is a Team Sport
Ninety percent of patients weighing over 25 kilos have surgery without receiving blood at The Heart Center at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. Read about its blood management program.

STUDY: Children's Hospital Studies New Oxygenator with Integrated Arterial Filter
Joseph Deptula, CCP, Children's Hospital, found that the CAPIOX FX05 Oxygenator significantly reduced CPB prime volumes and surface area while reducing blood donor exposure; all without compromising patient safety.

CASE STUDY: Pediatric Blood Management Program Optimal With 3-Year-Olds
Medical College of Georgia Health Children's Medical Center uses smaller tubing and oxygenator to eliminate 200 ml of prime volume to benefit three-year-old patients.

STUDY: Pediatric Hospital Uses New Technology to Remove Gaseous Microemboli and Reduce Blood Usage
Nationwide Children's Hospital evaluated the CAPIOX FX Oxygenator with an integrated arterial filter and found it significantly reduced prime volume and GME.
