Impact of the intensity of microemboli on neurocognitive outcome following cardiopulmonary bypass

Abstract: Correlation between intraoperative GME intensity and neurocognitive tests suggests that the level of GME might have a role in determining the psychological outcome after CABG with CPB.

“…In contrast is a recent publication by Doganci et al, which points at GME as a significant risk factor for cognitive disturbances. 19 Similar observations were demonstrated in a number of investigations during the mid-1990s. Detection of microemboli in the middle cerebral artery showed clear associations with postoperative cognitive deficits and the appearance of aberrant behaviour, including delirium.…”

“…Microembolism during CPB is implicated as a plausible mechanism for the development of postoperative cognitive disturbances. 18,19 Even if causality seems reasonable, we lack convincing scientific evidence. 20 Future investigations will probably bring more light into this matter.…”

“…This difference may be related to the fact that, in addition to particulate matter, the suction-based device also extracts gaseous micro-emboli, which have been shown to affect neuropsychological functioning in cardiac surgery patients early post-operatively. 28 …”

“…Gaseous microemboli remain an important challenge in CPB procedures because of the significant positive correlation between microemboli exposure during CPB and postoperative neurological injury [21] . Thus, minimizing the number of GME delivered to pediatric patients undergoing CPB procedures should lead to better clinical outcomes.…”
