Study Notes
CPB Filters
- A screen filter is designed to remove debris and gross air during Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB).
- Screen filters are typically made of a nylon mesh material.
- Gas line filters have a pore size range of 0.2-1.0 microns.
- The high flow blood filter with a pore size of 40 microns is commonly referred to as a " leukoreduction filter".
- The pre-bypass filter is commonly used in the pre-bypass stage.
- The arterial line filter has a pore size of 20-40 microns.
- A bubble filter is designed to reduce bubbles from incoming suction or ports.
- The pore size of gas line filters is 0.2-1.0 microns.
- The pore size range for arterial line filters is 20-40 microns.
- The screen filter is the most common type of filter in the extracorporeal circuit.
