A Novel Technique for the Administration of Sub-Ambient Oxygen in the Operating Room

چکیده
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a common form of congenital heart disease with abnormal development of left-sided structures of the heart. As excessive pulmonary blood flow is common prior to palliative surgical procedures, therapeutic maneuvers may be required to decrease pulmonary blood flow and augment systemic cardiac output. Respiratory manipulations to optimize the ratio of pulmonary to systemic blood flow may include techniques to induce hypercarbia or the delivery of sub-ambient concentrations of oxygen (FiO2 less than 0.21). We present a neonate with HLHS who required intraoperative care during a stage I hybrid procedure. Options for the intraoperative administration of a sub-ambient concentration of oxygen are presented.

Chemical Vapor Deposition Synthesis of Novel Indium Oxide Nanostructures in Strongly Reducing Growth Ambient
The current study reports some interesting growth of novel In2O3 nanostructures using ambient-controlled chemical vapor deposition technique in the presence of a strongly reducing hydrazine ambient. The experiments are systematically carried out by keeping either of the carrier gas flow rate or the source temperature constant, and varying the other. For each of the depositions, the growth is st...
متن کاملOperating Room Scheduling in Teaching Hospitals: A Novel Stochastic Optimization Model
Background and Objectives: Operating room (OR) scheduling is key to optimal operating room productivity. The significant uncertainty associated with surgery duration renders scheduling of surgical operation a challenging task. This paper proposes a novel computational stochastic model to optimize scheduling of surgeries with uncertain durations. The model considers various surgical operation co...

Abstract: Minimizing the work consumed in refrigeration system is the most effective measure to reduce the cost of products in sub-ambient chemical processes. The introduction of mixed working fluids into refrigeration system in place of pure working fluids is a recent advancement applied in the field. Due to the lack of systematic design method for Mixed Refrigerant Cycle (MRC), conventional a...
متن کاملBlood oxygenation during hyperpressure intraperitoneal fluid administration in a rabbit model of severe liver injury: Evaluation of a novel concept for control of pre-hospital liver bleeding
Oxygen is an essential part of the most important metabolic pathways in aerobic organisms. Oxygen delivery is merely dependent on blood, rendering blood loss a devastating event. Traumatic pre-hospital liver bleeding is a major cause of early trauma deaths in human and animals, with no established therapeutic method yet. Increasing intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) has been shown to reduce liver b...
