The damaging effect of cardiopulmonary bypass on blood elements and the possibility of its correction with 1-(chloromethyl) silatrane have been investigated. Cardiopulmonary bypass is a powerful damaging factor producing a wide range of effects including the activation of lipid peroxidation, reduction of erythrocyte membrane resistance to ultra-sound, destruction of blood elements and appearance of hemoglobin in the plasma (hemolysis). A possible mechanism of cardiopulmonary bypass damaging effect on blood elements is suggested. The use of 1-(chloromethyl)silatrane drastically increases the resistance of blood element membranes to injury, which seems promising for the drug application during cardiopulmonary bypass.
