Oxiris membrane is an efficient tool for inflammatory cytokines adsorption. Cardiac surgery is followed by an inflammatory state mimicking sepsis. The investigators hypothesized that cytokine adsorption by Oxiris® membrane can attenuate the inflammatory response and thus decrease the microcirculation impairment that followed cardiac surgery.
