The helix reservoir used in the DeWall Bubble Oxygenator and Dextrose solution for priming
Subject
Open Heart Surgery
Description
In 1961, Nazih Zuhdi, a medical fellow in surgery at the University of Minnesota from 1956-1957, introduced hemodilution to open heart surgery. By diluting the blood by priming the pump-oxygenator apparatus with a 5% dextrose water solution, it greatly reduced the amount of whole blood needed for transfusion during operation. This practice was almost universally accepted.
