    AbstractNeurologic and neurocognitive complications after cardiac surgery have been reported repeatedly. To better understand its etiology and design protective strategies, small animal models have been developed. This study describes the development of a survival rat cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) model, along with the introduction of an appropriately sized oxygenator. This model led the way for even more complicated models with CPB, facilitating full cardiac arrest with anterograde cardioplegia administration, air embolization, and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. In addition, the results of several of those rat CPB studies are summarized and their preclinical relevance is pointed out.
