World's Largest Resource for Cardiovascular Perfusion
We obtained indirect measures of the oxidative damage occurring during cardiac surgery by monitoring the glutathione system and we studied the influence of cardiopulmonary bypass.
Our intent is to present the most comprehensive set of guidelines possible, and we hope that this will serve as a resource so as to improve the outcomes of patients undergoing cardiothoracic surgery.
