A surgery of 349 cardiac surgeons showed that during a six-year period, a
pump oxygenator accident serious enough to cause patient injury or death
occurred one per 1,000 procedures. A total of 264 deaths occurred as a
direct results of an accident. Air embolism and disseminated intravascular
coagulation were the two most common problems. Low-level alarm systems were
reported to be used by 42% of the respondents and activated clotting times
were used by 63%. Rigorous use of alarm systems and heparin monitoring
could reduce the incidence of pump- related accidents.
