After the development of deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest for cardiothoracic procedures in the late 1950s, this technique was adopted by several neurosurgeons as an aid to complex cranial surgery. Woodhall and colleagues described its first use for a neurosurgical procedure in 1960. Although ...
Thus, the neuronal dam- age associated with the procedure itself was minimal. Figure 3. Quantification of the number of neuronal cells (PD 14) remaining in the ipsilateral hippocampal CA1 region after HI insult, and the effect of systemic hypothermia and caspase inhibitor (mean cell count per ...
electricity may be applied to the chest using two paddles in an attempt to defibrillate the heart. This procedure may be tried up to three times at first, and then occasionally as the person's temperature begins to climb.
We discussed maintaining participant confidentiality throughout the entire data collection procedure during the training. After data was collected all the necessary information, data was processed, edited, coded, classified, cleaned, and entered into a computer. To ensure the consistency and thoroughness...
Hypothermia is defined as a decrease in body core temperature to below 35 °C. In cardiac surgery, four stages of hypothermia are distinguished: mild, moderate, deep, and profound. The organ protection offered by deep hypothermia (DH) enables safe circul
