Computerized discrimination of microemboli in extracorporeal circuits

L R Abts et al. Am J Surg. 1978 Apr.

Abstract

A computerized ultrasonic particle detection system is capable of identifying microemboli in the 10 to 350 microgram. Data show that appropriate computer analysis of the reflecting signals allows discrimination of size and type of emboli. All extracorporeal circuits have microemboli with a large variation in size and number, depending upon the apparatus and how it is run.
