Summary
Researchers measured microplastic contamination generated by cardiopulmonary bypass machines used during heart surgery and found significant levels of plastic particles across the systems tested. The study characterized the types and quantities of microplastics produced during machine operation. The findings raise questions about patient exposure to microplastics during cardiac procedures and highlight the need for further research into whether these particles have clinical significance.
Significant levels of MP particles were produced across the two systems. Future studies can determine the time points at which they are produced in machine use, to mitigate their production, as well as inform cell/tissue culture investigations into the clinical significance of their introduction into patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
