Point of care laboratory for perfusion Retrograde Autologous Pump Prime RAPP and Urine Filtration UF: Avoiding hemodilution. The current state of Point of Care (POC)
Interesting a lively debate on Retrograde Autologous Pump Prime (RAPP) versus Ultrafiltration (UF) for volume control during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures
RAPP is a technique utilized to min. hemodilution associated anemia on cardiopulmonary bypass. Risks associated with RAPP: hypotension, acute hypovolemic shock and hypo - perfusion
