Evaluation of the Maquet Neonatal and Pediatric Quadrox I with an integrated arterial line filter during cardiopulmonary bypass

Abstract

This new line of oxygenators performed well with regards to gas transfer, HEC and TMP gradient, but there were clinical experiences that did not meet expectations. There were repeated incidences with the venous reservoir which ultimately cast a negative light on the design of this new product from Maquet. In the future, the authors would like to evaluate updated versions of this product from Maquet and any other pediatric perfusion devices that could help the patient in the clinical arena.
