The composition of these emboli in different clinical conditions is unclear.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>\n            We performed 1-hour transcranial Doppler sonographic recordings from the middle cerebral or posterior cerebral artery in 20 patients with mechanical prosthetic heart valves, in 78 patients with an arterial embolic source, and in 20 control subjects. During 30 minutes of this recording, the patients inspired room air and 6 L of oxygen per minute via a loosely fitting facial mask; during the remaining 30 minutes, they breathed room air only.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>\n            There was a significant decline of embolic signals (ES) under oxygen in the patients with mechanical prosthetic cardiac valves (144 ES without oxygen versus 63 ES with oxygen;\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            =.002) but not in the patients with arterial embolic sources (145 ES without oxygen versus 135 ES with oxygen; P=NS). In the control subjects, no ES were found.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n            ES in patients with mechanical prosthetic cardiac valves correspond mainly to gas bubbles. Oxygen inhibits the cavitation process of mechanical prosthetic heart valves or speeds up redissolution of gas bubbles generated by cavitation. In contrast, solid microemboli originating from thrombus or atheroma cannot be suppressed by oxygen inhalation. This simple method of oxygen inhalation should help to clarify the composition of microemboli in various clinical and experimental settings.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/01.str.28.12.2453","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,6,17]],"date-time":"2011-06-17T20:08:03Z","timestamp":1308341283000},"page":"2453-2456","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["Oxygen Inhalation Can Differentiate Gaseous From Nongaseous Microemboli Detected by Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Dirk W.","family":"Droste","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Departments of Neurology (D.W.D., T.H., V.K., G.S.-A., D.G.N., E.B.R.) and Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery (D.H., H.H.S.), University of Mu\u0308nster, and Department of Neurology, Medical University of Lu\u0308beck (M.K.)
