TLDR
The ultrasound index for detecting gaseous microemboli (MEI) indicated the presence of suchmicroemboli in 22 of the 27 patients during insertion of the aortic cannula during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, supporting the assumption that the MEI is providing quantitative information regarding the existence of gaseously emboli in the middle cerebral artery.

Impaired Clearance of Emboli (Washout) Is an Important Link Between Hypoperfusion, Embolism, and Ischemic Stroke

TL;DR: It is posited that impaired washout is an important but neglected concept that intertwines hypoperfusion, embolization, and brain infarction.

The impact of microemboli during cardiopulmonary bypass on neuropsychological functioning

TL;DR: It is suggested that neuropsychological deficits after routine cardiopulmonary bypass are related to the number of microemboli delivered during surgery, and the numbers of microEmboli may be reduced by including a 40‐&mgr;m filter on the arterial line.

Transcranial measurement of blood velocities in the basal cerebral arteries using pulsed Doppler ultrasound: a method of assessing the Circle of Willis

TL;DR: The transcranial pulsed Doppler ultrasound and spectral analysis was used for detection of blood velocities in the basal cerebral arteries to assess four patients who had occlusive extracranial carotid disease and indicated the major collateral source was from the vertebrobasilar system.

Ultrasonic identification of sources of gaseous microemboli during open heart surgery

E. G. Gallagher, +1 more
- 01 May 1973 - 
TL;DR: An ultrasonic transducer was used to detect gaseous microemboli during open heart surgery and demonstrated that the two types of disposable bubble oxygenators and disc oxygenators tested delivered microbubbles in the arterial blood.

Reduced platelet activation and improved hemostasis after controlled cardiotomy suction during clinical membrane oxygenator perfusions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed an automatic controlled cardiotomy suction system by which the aspiration of air along with suction of blood was prevented, which significantly reduced platelet activation and postoperative blood loss.

Comparison of bubble and membrane oxygenators in short and long perfusions.

TL;DR: In anticipated long perfusions or where bleeding may be a problem, a membrane oxygenator appears more efficacious than bubble systems, and for perfusions of less than 2 hours, membrane oxygenators had no biochemical or hematologic advantage over the bubble devices used in this study.
