Results:This study included 1202 patients who underwent predominantly abdominal, orthopedic, and neurological procedures.
They are likely to include patients at extremely high risk of periprocedural thromboembolic events (eg, those with mechanical mitral valve prostheses) undergoing procedures for which uninterrupted, periprocedural anticoagulation is prohibitively dangerous (eg, neurological procedures).
Diagnosis of CJD typically entails spinal tap, electroencephalography, and other procedures to assess neurological function in order to rule out conditions that might produce similar symptoms.
In this prospective study we investigated the outcome of a new operative neurological bypass procedure in patients with spina bifida.
These results suggest that both procedures effectively treat two-adjacent-level CSM and improve the patients' neurological function, quality of life and disability.
To compare the quality of the recovery when propofol or alfaxalone were administered for the induction of anaesthesia in dogs undergoing neurological diagnostic procedures.
Subsets of this population were also studied: tumoral excision, aneurysm surgery, laminectomy, stroke, neurological intravascular procedures, GCS ≤ 8, GCS > 8 and GCS > 14, and APACHE II mortality ≤ 10 and APACHE II mortality > 10.
Exclusion criteria were history of surgery in the last 14 days, lameness of less than 4 weeks duration, and other pelvic limb conditions associated with joint instability, such as patella luxation and cranial (anterior) cruciate ligament rupture that had not been treated with a surgical stabilization procedure, neurological abnormalities, and concurrent major systemic disease.
Along with its sister dermatologic volume, this comprehensive textbook of laser technology covers the use of lasers in cardiac procedures, control of intraocular pressure, urological procedures, neurological use, dentistry, gynaecology and surgical applications.
Protocols on baseline characteristics, details on cardiac arrest, out-of-hospital procedures and events, cooling and rewarming procedures, neurological and functional outcome scores at discharge, information on possible adverse events and death are documented.
