Investigating the effects of two different pump heads (Centrifugal vs. Roller Pump) on hematological and immunological mechanisms

Conclusion: The study findings indicate that usage of the centrifugal pump does not have a clear superiority in terms of the effects on inflammatory response and oxidant status during CPB when compared to roller pump. Nevertheless, we believe that our results should be supported by further clinical and experimental studies.
