The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the hemofiltration-body\nsurface area on mortality and morbidity during cardiopulmonary bypass\n(CBP). A total of 226 patients were divided into two groups as hemofiltration\n(HF) performed or not performed. The patients to whom hemofiltration was\nperformed were also divided into three subgroups after the distribution analysis\nwhich was done according to body surface area. All patients were compared\naccording to the relationship of hemofiltration-body surface area during\ncardiopulmonary bypass in the interms of mortality and morbidity. There\nwas no statistically significant relationship between the subgroups according\nto the amount of hemofiltration by square meters (p = 0.818). There was statistically\nsignificant difference in total perfusion times and total hospital stay\n(p = 0.025; p = 0.038) between the subgroups which were divided by the\namount of hemofiltration in square meters. As a result, no effect was observed\non the mortality of the relationship between the amount of hemofiltration\napplied during CBP and body surface area.
