EXPERT MENTAL AND CLINICAL STUDY ON SELECTIVE CEREBRAL PERFUSION

Abstract

Selective cerebral perfusion tehnic has been used on aortic arch replacement. Experimental study was done to clarify the optinal flow rate of the perfusion. By using total cardiopulmonary bypass, core cooling was done to 20°C (rectal). The blood flow of the bilateral common carotid arteries decreased significantly parallel to the systemic bypass flow.
According to this result, the clinical use of the selective perfusion has been done on six patients. No cerebral damage was found in this patient group.
