To combine the advantages of conventional and modified ultrafiltration while keeping cardiopulmonary bypass technique simple, we have developed a simplified circuit of combined ultrafiltration, which is presently used in our pediatric patients. In addition to the benefits of combined ultrafiltration, this circuit allows the rewarming and prevention of heat loss in small children and neonates.
