Simplified Clinical Risk Score to Predict Acute Kidney Injury after Aortic Surgery
The model would provide a simplified clinical score stratifying the risk of postoperative AKI in patients undergoing aortic surgery.
Skin Temperature over the Carotid Artery Provides an Accurate Noninvasive Estimation of Core Temperature in Infants and Young Children during General Anesthesia
The accurate measurement of core temperature is an essential aspect of intraoperative management in children.
Right Ventricular Perforation during Femoral Venous Cannulation: Lessons Learned
