[Antifoaming agent microembolism in patients undergoing extracorporeal circulation. Its frequency in post mortem material and its pathogenic potential in vitro].

Antifoam microembolisms in patients that undergo open heart surgery, represent a risk for postoperative complications. We decided to study its frequency in an autopsy population of patients who died after heart surgery. Forty-five patients were selected and histological sections from the kidneys were studied under light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray microanalysis. Thirty-six cases (80%) showed microemboli in the glomerular capillaries lumens. There was a positive correlation between the number of particles found and the length of the surgery. Microemboli were composed of an amorphous fraction and a particulated one composed of silicon. In vitro experimentation demonstrated that the particles are capable to induce cell lysis in a dose related manner. They also are susceptible of been phagocitated by macrophages. We conclude that bubble oxygenator are capable to induce microembolisms in a high percentage of the cases studied. Components of the microemboli are cytotoxic. Therefore microembolisms could be participating in the morbidity of patients subjects to cardiopulmonary bypass.
