Quantitation of platelet loss with indium-111 labeled platelets in a hollow-fiber membrane oxygenator and arterial filter during extracorporeal circulation in a pig model

Journal Article · · ASAIO Transactions (American Society for Artificial Internal Organs); (USA)
Platelet consumption in a hollow-fiber membrane oxygenator (HFMO) and arterial filter (AF) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was quantified in five pigs using Indium-111 labeled autologous platelets. Platelet labeling was performed 20-24 hours before CPB. After general endotracheal anesthesia, the pigs were systemically heparinized and were placed on CPB via a median sternotomy. After 3 hours of CPB, radioactivity was quantified with a gamma camera and an ionization chamber. The percent of injected dose (mean {plus minus} SD) was 0.79 +/- 0.45 in the HFMO, 2.52 {plus minus} 0.93 in AF, 4.3 {plus minus} 1.2 in blood loss during CPB. Platelet consumption in HFMO during CPB was lower than in bubble oxygenators (19%) or silicone membrane oxygenators (12%) as observed in previous studies.
