Non-Hemic Priming Fluids for Extracorporeal Circulation

Bruce C. Paton M.R.C.P., F.R.C.S.1 and Jens Rosenkrantz M.D.1

1 Halsted Laboratory for Experimental Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Colorado Medical Center

Experience with homologous blood as the sole priming fluid for pump oxygenators has demonstrated that its use has considerable disadvantages, physiologic, hematologic and economic.

Low molecular weight dextran, glucose in water, glucose in saline, balanced electrolyt0e solutions and others have all been used as partial or total priming fluids for perfusion.

Experimental and clinical results have defined the uses, advantages, and disadvantages of these solutions.

At present, no single perfusate has been shown definitely to be superior to all others in enough respects to warrant its universal acceptance.

The various solutions and techniques have been discussed and their different uses presented.
