Ethical Dilemmas Encountered with the use of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Adults
introduces many ethical dilemmas specific to this technology
Future Uncertainties in the Development of Clinical Cerebral Oximetry
Substantive advancements have been made in the use of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to monitor the oxidative state of various human tissues
Aortic Stiffness as a Marker of Cardiac Function and Myocardial Strain in Patients Undergoing Aortic Valve Replacement
In this study, we hypothesize that aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) as a marker of aortic stiffness correlates with conventional clinical and biochemical markers of cardiac function and perioperative myocardial strain in aortic valve replacement (AVR).
Myocardial Protection Using Del Nido Cardioplegia Solution in Adult Reoperative Aortic Valve Surgery
Del Nido cardioplegia was developed for use in the pediatric population to address the inability of immature myocardium to tolerate high levels of intracellular calcium following cardiac surgery. Our aim in this study is to determine if this solution can be used safely and effectively in an adult, reoperative population.
