2 Fig 1 The graph shows, only for the 15 cell saver patients before and after cell saving, the relative changes of certain inflammatory markers in the (A) suction blood and in the residual blood from the (B) cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit before retransfusion. Columns are median percentage changes with quartiles. All changes were statistically significant (p < 0.05) except for procalcitonin (PCT) in the CPB blood (p = 0.279). There was an increase in interleukin (IL)-8 in the CPB blood after cell saver processing (p = 0.031). (sTNF-RI and -RII = soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor I and II.)
