Abstract
Use of a MCPB affected inflammation and coagulation variables only marginally and did not lead to clinical relevant changes as assessed by blood loss, need for blood products, and intensive care unit and clinical stays. However, safety margins for volume loss, air emboli, and weaning from CPB decrease, because of the closed MCPB circuit.
