Introduction: Trendelenburg position (TP) is used to transport gaseous emboli away from the cerebral region during cardiac surgery. However, TP effectiveness has not been fully considered when combined with varying the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) flow. This study simulated the supine and TP at different pump flows and assessed the trapped emboli and embolic load entering the aortic arch branch arteries (AABA).
