A reduction in potential to 100 kV occurred in 32 cases; therefore, these patients received significantly lower radiation exposure compared with the 120 kV protocol. Conclusion Automated attenuation-based tube potential selection produces good diagnostic image quality in chest-abdomen-pelvis CT and ...
Experimental protocol The umbilical cord was occluded until asystole when the lamb’s heart rate was zero and the carotid arterial pressure and flow waveforms were absent. The umbilical cord was then tied and cut. The lamb was transferred to a radiant warmer and weighed and a three-lead EKG a...
They were intubated with a 10.0 mm-cuffed endotracheal tube (ETT) and ventilated with 21% oxygen and 2–3% isoflurane at 16 breaths/min. The ewes were continuously monitored with a pulse oximeter and an end-tidal CO2 (EtCO2) monitor [9,10]. Following cesarean section, fetal lambs were ...
