This RAP technique is a safe and effective way to achieve a standardized asanguinous prime for many regardless of patient or circuit size in the absence of contraindications such as low starting hematocrit, emergency surgery or physiologic instability. Most importantly, this potentially reduces the amount of hemodilution patients see from CPB initiation and therefore the lowest nadir hematocrit and consequently the amount of required homologous blood products needed during surgery.
