Design and Performance of ECC-MECC
نویسنده
چکیده
The concept of the Magnetized Emulsion Cloud Chamber is here described. It is shown how the presence of a magnetic field and the use of an emulsion spectrometer permit very good charge reconstruction and enhance the momentum determination capabilities, keeping at the same time the high accuracy and compactness of the Emulsion Cloud Chamber, presently used in the OPERA experiment. The design of such a detector and its tuning, performed so far by means of simulations and a dedicated test beam, is done with the ambitious aim to fulfill all the requirements for an ideal detector operating at a neutrino facility.

Minimised versus conventional cardiopulmonary bypass: outcome of high-risk patients.
BACKGROUND Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with extracorporeal circulation (ECC) is the gold standard for surgical coronary re-vascularisation. Recently, minimised extracorporeal circulation system (MECC) has been postulated a safe and advantageous alternative for multi-vessel CABG. METHOD Between January 2004 and December 2007, 244 high-risk patients (logistic EuroScore (ES)>10%) unde...
متن کاملEvaluation of hemodynamic and regional tissue perfusion effects of minimized extracorporeal circulation (MECC).
Minimized extracorporeal circulation (MECC, Maquet, Cardiopulmonary AG, Hirrlingen, Germany) is an established procedure to perform coronary revascularization. Studies showed positive effects of MECC compared to conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (CCPB) procedures in terms of transfusion requirements, less inflammation reactions, and neurological impairments. Recent retrospective studies showe...
متن کاملFour years' experience with a miniaturized extracorporeal circulation system and its influence on clinical outcome.
It has been suggested that the morbidity associated with cardiopulmonary bypass can be attributed in part to the blood-material and blood-air interactions in the extracorporeal circulation (ECC). A recently introduced minimized ECC-system (MECC System) should be able to reduce these negative effects associated with ECC. A retrospective analysis was performed comprising 485 patients who were ope...
متن کاملMinimized extracorporeal circulation system in coronary artery bypass surgery: a 10-year single-center experience with 2243 patients.
OBJECTIVE Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the gold standard for the surgical therapy of multivessel coronary artery disease. To reduce the side effects, associated with standard extracorporeal circulation (ECC), a concept of minimal extracorporeal circulation (MECC) was devised in our center. We report on our 10-year experience with the MECC for coronary revascularization. METHODS F...
متن کاملOff-pump compared to minimal extracorporeal circulation surgery in coronary artery bypass grafting.
OBJECTIVE Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using extracorporeal circulation (ECC) is still the gold standard. However, alternative techniques have been developed to avoid ECC and its potential adverse effects. These encompass minimal extracorporeal circulation (MECC) or off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). However, the prevailing potential benefits when comparing MECC and OPC...
