Abstract :
Haemolysis is an unavoidable side effect of any extracorporeal circulation. If not promptly detected, haemolysis can lead to severe health risks for the patient such as thrombosis, compromised oxygen-carrying capacity that may cause injury to the brain and other organs, and, ultimately, a cardiac arrest.
