OBJECTIVE: This study compared the effects of amiodarone via sternal intraosseous (SIO) and intravenous (IV) routes on return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), time to ROSC, concentration maximum (C), time to maximum concentration (T), and mean conc...
OBJECTIVE: Purposes of this study were to compare intravenous (IV) and sternal intraosseous (SIO) administration of vasopressin relative to concentration maximum (Cmax), time to maximum concentration (Tmax), and mean concentration in a cardiac arrest...
OBJECTIVE: To determine if there were significant differences among humerus intraosseous (HIO), sternal intraosseous (SIO), and intravenous (IV) administration of 500 mL Hextend in hemodynamics or administration time in a hypovolemic swine model.
Bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) grafting may be associated with a higher risk of postoperative deep sternal wound infection than monolateral internal thoracic artery grafting due to a limited blood supply to the thoracic chest wall. Because...
In addition to the pelvis, cranium and phalanges, the sternum is also used for postmortem sex identification. Bone measurements may be obtained on cadaveric bones. Alternatively, computerized tomography may be used to obtain measurements close to the...
Pectus excavatum (PE) is one of the most common chest wall defects. Accurate assessment of PE deformities is critical for effective surgical intervention. Index-based evaluations have become the standard for objectively estimating PE, however, these ...
Minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE) is an effective method for correcting pectus excavatum (PE), a congenital chest wall deformity characterized by concave depression of the sternum. In MIRPE, a long, thin, curved stainless plate (i...
INTRODUCTION: Traditional surgical methods have been difficult for patients with chest wall deformities, but the use of the Electrical Sternum Lifting System (ESLS) has made the surgery easier.
Most commercial laying hens suffer from sternum (keel) bone damage including deviations and fractures. X-raying hens, followed by segmenting and assessing the keel bone, is a key to automating the monitoring of keel bone condition. The aim of the cur...
