Abstract Objectives Neurological complications after cardiac surgery have been associated with gaseous microemboli generated during cardiopulmonary bypass. We undertook a trial to assess whether a novel dual-chamber oxygenator, designed to..
Read MoreAbstract Brain injury is still a serious complication after cardiac surgery. Gaseous microemboli (GME) are known to contribute to both short and longer-term brain injury after cardiac surgery. Hypobaric and..
Read MoreAbstract Background: This study examines the efficacy of hypobaric oxygenation as it relates to the elimination of gaseous microemboli (GME) at designated flow, pressure and temperature combinations. Methods: Hypobaric oxygenation..
