A method of preventing air embolus in open-heart surgery

GM Lemole and GC Pinder

Intraoperative air embolus following cardiac surgery poses a serious problem. Many maneuvers have been suggested in an attempt to minimize its occurrence. Partial aortic clamping, creating a cupola which collects this air, is combined with aortic venting. The use of this simple technique is described as an alternative and easily applicable trouble-free method.
