Leukocyte filtration to decrease the number of adherent leukocytes in the cerebral microcirculation after a period of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest

Abstract: The leukocyte-depleting filter succeeded in reducing the number of adherent leukocytes during the reperfusion period in an experimental operation with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Such a filter thus could mitigate cerebral reperfusion injury after cardiac surgery.

“…Darling et al [ 13 ] used zero balance ultrafiltration (Z-BUF), a technique that aims to fix the water balance generated by CPB through infusion of saline solution simultaneously to filtration, demonstrating increased arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2 ), decreased tissue edema and reduced histologic injury. Alaoja et al [ 14 ] studied the filtration of leukocytes, demonstrating reduction in activated leukocytes adhered to tissues.…”

“…With increasing reports on platelet transfusion refractoriness, the necessity of leukocyte filtration has recently attracted considerable attention (McGettrick et al, 2007;Boodram and Evans, 2008;Singh and Kumar, 2009;Miyaji et al, 2010). Clinical evaluation of the performance of the platelet-specific leukocyte filter merely includes leukocyte removal rate, platelet recoveries, and other indicators (Alaoja et al, 2006;Ott et al, 2006). However, few studies consider whether leukocyte filtration disrupts platelet activation.…”

“…The leukocyte filters used herein were the same as in our previous study to allow for comparison. The filters should be adequate according to [23][24][25]; however, according to Allen/Buckberg [26], the use of a single filter may have been inadequate. It is plausible that the leukocyte filtration could become more efficient, and this should be further evaluated.…”
