 | | Two methodologies for obtaining accurate blood gas and electrolyte values during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are traditional laboratory analyzers, which use an electrochemical technology, and continuous in-line monitoring systems, which use a fluorometric and/or spectrophotometric technology. |
 | | The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy of a new continuous in-line monitor, the 3M (TM) CDI (TM) Blood Parameter Monitoring System 500, which provides continuous in-line measurements of pH, PCO2, PO2, potassium (K+), oxygen saturation, hematocrit, hemoglobin, and temperature, during partial or complete CPB. |
 | | The results of this clinical trial show that the CDI System 500 continuous in-line monitoring system provides values that meet the accuracy standards for laboratory analyzers for arterial pH, PCO2, PO2, and K+. |
