Priming solutions for cardiopulmonary bypass

摘要

The present invention relates to priming solutions used during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. In particular, the present invention relates to a cardiopulmonary bypass priming solution comprising a balanced salt solution and a combination of oncotic and non-oncotic dextran molecules. The present invention also relates to the use of the priming solution in a cardiopulmonary bypass method, a method of maintaining oncotic pressure in a patient during a cardiopulmonary bypass procedure, and a combination of cardiopulmonary bypass priming solution and cardiopulmonary bypass apparatus.

主权项

1. A method of maintaining oncotic pressure in a patient during a cardiopulmonary bypass procedure, comprising contacting the patient, during the cardiopulmonary bypass procedure, with a cardiopulmonary bypass priming solution comprising a balanced salt solution and a combination of an oncotic dextran and a non-oncotic dextran, wherein the oncotic dextran provides a functional oncotic pressure corresponding to 35 to 55 g/l of Dextran 40.
