Comparative StudyIn vitro uptake and elimination of isoflurane by different membrane oxygenators.
This study was designed to investigate the effect of membrane oxygenator design and composition on the uptake and elimination of isoflurane. ⋯ If isoflurane is administered during cardiopulmonary bypass, knowledge of the influence of oxygenator membrane composition on its pharmacokinetics is essential if patient awareness and unexpected cardiovascular depression are to be avoided.
