Fig 1 Representative photomicrograph of canine brain tissue with SCADs, indicating by arrows, after CPB and return of scavenged blood (alkaline phosphatase-stained, 100 μm thick). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2000 70, 1296-1300DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(00)01588-5)
Fig 2 Mean SCAD density ± standard error by filter or cell saver group. Closed bars represent arterial filter group; open bars represent cell saver group. p < 0.05 for cell saver versus arterial filter groups; p > 0.05 for all other intergroup comparisons. (B = Bentley Duraflo II AF-1025D; PL = Pall LeukoGuard AL; PS = Pall StatPrime; M = Medtronic autoLog cell saver, LF = Pall RCXL 1 leukocyte removal filter; F = Fresenius Continuous autotransfusion System.)
