This study was designed and performed to assess the short-term effects of this technique on postoperative lung status in such patients.Methods- In a double-blind, randomized clinical trial, 90 patients scheduled for elective CABG were selected and randomly assigned into 2 groups; the first group had ultrafiltration in their cardiopulmonary bypass circuit.Results- The case group patients were extubated sooner compared to the control group. The postoperative oxygenation status in the case group was better than the control group.Conclusions- The results of this study demonstrated that ultrafiltration could improve the postoperative respiratory status of those adults undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.}, keywords = {Ultrafiltration,Coronary artery bypass graft surgery,RESPIRATORY STATUS}, url = {http://journal.iha.org.ir/article_83772.html}, eprint = {http://journal.iha.org.ir/article_83772_40c70ae29ed0a403bd052160a5fbc351.pdf} }
