Perfluorocarbon (PFC) emulsions are artificial oxygen-carrying compounds with a high solubility for gases that have experimentally been shown to ameliorate cerebral air embolism. Cerebral air embolism has been associated with adverse cerebral outcomes after cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We designed this study to test whether PFC emulsions could reduce the volume of bubbles within the CPB circuit.
