Abstract

A cardioplegia management system comprises an inlet tube adapted for connection to a source of cardioplegic fluid, and at least two supply tubes extending from the inlet tube and in communication therewith, whereby fluid passing through the inlet will be directed to the supply tubes. The system also includes a base, and clamps associated with the supply tubes. Each of the clamps is mounted on the base in a position to selectively clamp and unclamp its respective supply tube, thereby selectively blocking or allowing flow of fluid through the supply tubes.
