Comparative Analysis of Pressure Drop (Δp): Hemodynamic Performance of Three Commercial Oxygenators During Cardiopulmonary Bypass

The results of the study show that the Inspire has the highest Δp of all the oxygenators examined in this study. In addition to potential influencing factors, the value is also dependent on the internal structure and the surface properties of the oxygenators. However, the present study does not help to clarify the effects of the pressure before and after the oxygenator or the Δp itself on hemolysis and subsequent clinical parameters associated with the use of different commercially available oxygenators.
