[The Soviet colloid modegel as a component of a perfusion medium used in surgery with extracorporeal circulation]

The results of the application of a new Soviet colloid solution modegel in cardiopulmonary bypass surgery in 50 patients have been analysed. The data obtained have been compared to those of control patients who were administered gelatinol instead of modegel. Modegel ensures optimal basic plasma electrolyte content, colloid-osmotic pressure and osmolality during perfusion.
