More Cardiotomy Blood Concerns<br />

• “Recent studies have focused on the origins of thrombotic stimulus and the<br />

possible role of retransfused suctioned blood from the thoracic cavities on the<br />

activation of the extrinsic coagulation pathway.”<br />

• Microembolization during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can be detected in the<br />

brain as lipid deposits that create small capillary and arteriolar dilations (SCADs)<br />

with ischemic injury and neuronal dysfunction.<br />

– SCAD density is increased with the use of cardiotomy suction to scavenge shed<br />

blood.<br />

– Use of a cell washer to scavenge shed blood during CPB decreases cerebral lipid<br />

microembolization.<br />
