(CPB) is a technique that temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs during surgery, maintaining the circulation of blood and the oxygen content of the body.
Cellsaving is a technique of salvaging the patient's own blood during surgery. An advantage to this is the patient receives his/her own blood instead of donor blood, so there is no risk of contracting outside diseases.
The Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a mechanical device that is used to decrease myocardial oxygen demand while at the same time increasing cardiac output. By increasing cardiac output it also increases coronary blood flow and therefore myocardial oxygen delivery.
ECMO is a device that oxygenates a patient's blood outside the body and returns the blood to the patient's circulatory system. The technique may be used to support an impaired respiratory system
A Ventricular assist device, or VAD, is a mechanical circulatory device that is used to partially or completely replace the function of a failing heart.

I have been utilizing platelet gel on 100% of my cardiac procedures since 2005. I find great comfort in the hemostasis it provides my patients. Furthermore, PRP is very cost-effective and extremely safe. Also, the bio-engineered hemostasis products on the market tend to be pricey. Finally, I would recommend platelet gel to my colleagues in the surgical community without hesitation.
