EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A CLOSED CIRCUIT IN COMPARISON WITH AN OPEN CIRCUIT OF CARDIOPULMONARY BYPASS

Abstract

Objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of closed-loop surgeries with the planned duration of cardiopulmonary bypass more than 2 hours in the immediate postoperative period. Materials and methods. A study was carried out in the clinic over 10 patients (average age 47-56 years) with Diagnoses: Ascending aortic aneurysm, FC 3 aortic valve insufficiency, who underwent surgery for ascending aorta replacement, aortic valve replacement with coronary artery reimplantation. The patients were divided into 2 groups, the 1st group (5 patients) is the control group using an open cardiopulmonary bypass circuit, the 2nd group (5 patients) is the patients using a closed cardiopulmonary bypass circuit. The total time of cardiopulmonary bypass in both groups was 125-187 minutes. Results. In the 2nd study group, drainage blood loss significantly decreased, on average 60-100 ml compared to the control group, where the average drainage loss was 600-1500 ml. The need for blood transfusion was 5.1% in the 2nd group, compared with 43.4% in the control group. In the study group 2, the number of platelets in the postoperative period in patients was higher than in the control group. Conclusion. This study shows that a closed circuit, compared to an open one, allows complex heart surgeries with a planned duration of extracorporeal circulation of more than 2-3 hours.
