Journal ArticleDOI
Resolution in ultrasound imaging
TL;DR: Three main aspects of the physics of diagnostic ultrasound are discussed, that is to say, spatial resolution, temporal resolution, and contrast resolution; it utilizes examples from perioperative echocardiography to illustrate these principles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preoperative Anemia and Outcomes in Cardiovascular Surgery: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Hari Padmanabhan,Keith Siau,Jason Curtis,Alexander Ng,Shyam Menon,Heyman Luckraz,Matthew J Brookes +6 more
TL;DR: Findings support the addition of preoperative anemia to future risk prediction models, and as a target for risk modification, in patients scheduled for cardiac surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intravenous iron does not effectively correct preoperative anaemia in cardiac surgery: a pilot randomized controlled trial.
Hari Padmanabhan,Keith Siau,Alan M. Nevill,Ian Morgan,James Cotton,Alexander Ng,Matthew J Brookes,Heyman Luckraz +7 more
TL;DR: Despite significantly higher intraoperative blood loss in the group receiving intravenous iron, blood transfusion requirements for both groups were not statistically different and there was no significant difference in haemoglobin increments between groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypoxaemia during one-lung anaesthesia
TL;DR: Control of distribution of ventilation, for example, bronchopleural fistula, and preventing cross-contamination of the contralateral lung.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anemia in cardiac surgery: next target for mortality and morbidity improvement?
Hari Padmanabhan,Dincer Aktuerk,Matthew J Brookes,Alan M. Nevill,Alexander Ng,James Cotton,Heyman Luckraz +6 more
TL;DR: Anemia impacts significantly on morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery, with less improvement over time compared to patients without anemia, and preoperative correction of anemia could potentially help to improve cardiac surgery outcomes.
