Cold blood potassium cardioplegia, by two types of the infusion systems, was used in 45 patients who were undergone the open cardiac operation. Method A [in 25 patients] was the syringe infusion system and method B [in 20 patients] was the pump infusion system. Cold blood potassium cardioplegic solution was used less amount on method B than method A. Serum potassium was often increased significantly on method A as a result of excessive infusion of cold blood potassium cardioplegic solution. But method B, excessive infusion of cold blood potassium cardioplegic solution was prevented by reperfusion of the previous infused cold blood potassium cardioplegic solution through the recirculation system. Alteration of infused rate and concentration of potassium in cold blood potassium cardioplegic solution during infusion [which might be suggested on the method A] could be controlled on method B.[KTCS 1982;1:35-39]
