Synergistic action of heparin and fluid-stopping device in reducing air embolism and hemodialysis clotting: Early results from a randomized trial.

BACKGROUND: Entry of air into the extracorporeal circuit and inappropriate anticoagulation are significant factors associated with clotting. Even with systemic heparination, microbubbles can be implicated as sites for thrombosis and accelerate hepari…
