Hypobaric type oxygenators during cardiopulmonary bypass for cardiac surgery to reduce gaseous microemboli: A randomized controlled trial

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..
