[Hyperbaric Oxygenation - utility in intensive therapy - part 1]

9 Sep 2009 Hyperbaric Oxygenation (HBO) is a medical treatment, in which a patient breathes 100 % oxygen inside a treatment chamber at a pressure higher than at sea level. The indication for HBO has to be considered whenever gas bubbles present in tissue or ... Read more...

Bubble tracking through computational fluid dynamics in arterial line filters for cardiopulmonary bypass.

30 Aug 2009 Gaseous embolism is still a concern in cardiopulmonary bypass, and the use of arterial line filters (ALFs) is widespread because of their recognized role in increasing safety. Currently, the methods used for the optimization/evaluation of ALF ... Read more...

Disclosing harmful medical errors to patients: tackling three tough cases.

30 Aug 2009 A gap exists between recommendations to disclose errors to patients and current practice. This gap may reflect important, yet unanswered questions about implementing disclosure principles. We explore some of these unanswered questions by presenting ... Read more...
