Study Notes

Ultrafiltration and Modified Ultrafiltration in Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Ultrafiltration during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) aims to remove excess water, concentrate cellular elements, and proteins in the blood, while maintaining the patient's plasma concentration of diffusible solutes.
Continuous ultrafiltration during rewarming on CPB may attenuate the inflammatory response, as it can lower cytokine and complement levels, especially during this phase.
To enable continuous ultrafiltration during rewarming, ultrafiltrate is replaced with a balanced electrolyte solution.
Z-BUF (Zero-Balance Ultrafiltration) has been used to correct hyperkalemia, electrolyte, and acid-base disturbances in adults undergoing cardiac surgery.
Z-BUF ensures that as blood volume is reduced by ultrafiltration, potassium levels remain stable, as ultrafiltrate potassium levels are always in equal concentration to the plasma.
Modified Ultrafiltration (MUF) is a procedure used in pediatric patients to concentrate and transfuse residual circuit blood post-CPB without the risk of hypervolemia.
MUF requires patients to remain cannulated for 10 to 20 minutes post-CPB termination, and protamine may not be administered during MUF to maintain circuit integrity.
Ultrafiltration can remove direct thrombin inhibitors like bivalirudin, with the potential to remove 45% to 65% of the drug using MUF or UF for adults.
CPB presents challenges in managing hemodilution, electrolyte levels, and fluid shifts due to the systemic inflammatory response, all of which can be addressed through ultrafiltration.
Z-BUF, in combination with MUF, has shown improved post-CPB outcomes and reduced levels of inflammatory mediators.
The conventional dialysis circuit can be simplified for use in the extracorporeal circuit to manage patient volume and electrolyte imbalances, similar to Z-BUF or hemofiltration.
Ultrafiltration appears to efficiently remove middle-molecule uremic solutes compared to dialysis.
