The aim of the study was to investigate whether processing residual pump blood with ultrafiltration could increase the increment of hemoglobin after residual pump blood reinfusion and evaluate its influence on plasma-free hemoglobin (pFHb) level and postoperative renal function. Sixty adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass were assigned to 2 groups, based on pump blood processing strategy: ultrafiltration plus reinfusion (n = 30) or reinfusion (control; n = 30). Increment in hemoglobin and pFHb after reinfusion (ΔHgb, ΔpFHb), reinfusion volume, postoperative chest drainage volume (first 24 h), duration of mechanical ventilation, changes in serum creatinine, and prevalence of AKI were compared between the 2 groups. Higher levels of both ΔHgb and ΔpFHb were observed after reinfusion in the ultrafiltration group [ΔHgb 1.8 ± 1.1 g/dL vs. 1.2 ± 0.6 g/dL, P = 0.03, ΔpFHb 100 (0, 200) mg/L vs. 0 (-100, 0) mg/L, P = 0.03]. The reinfusion volume was lower in the ultrafiltration group [550 (325, 615) mL vs. 1000 (900, 1180) mL, P < 0.001]. No differences were found in postoperative chest drainage volume (first 24 h), duration of mechanical ventilation, changes in serum creatinine, and prevalence of AKI. Compared to the unprocessed group, ultrafiltration before reinfusion of residual pump blood improved the hemoglobin level and reduced volume loading. Despite an increase in pFHb, the processing procedure was not related to postoperative kidney injury.

A typical P-type pump has three cytosolic domains: nucleotide-binding (N), phosphorylation (P), and activator (A) domains. These domains are connected to the membrane-spanning helices by short amino acid segments. ATP hydrolysis and covalent phosphoenzyme intermediate formation are crucial parts of the catalytic cycle.
