Abstract
The influence of cardiopulmonary bypass on blood platelets and leucocytes, using both membrane (Landé-Edwards) and bubble (Rygg-Kyvsgaard) oxygenators was investigated. With both oxygenators a decrease in the number of both blood platelets and leucocytes was found. The fall in the platelet count with the Landé-Edwards membrane oxygenator was relatively moderate and constant, whereas with the Rygg-Kyvsgaard oxygenator the decrease was pronounced. It is recommended that bypass using the latter oxygenator should not last longer than 11/2 hours.Keywords
