Does more Realistic Face Model Surface improve Relevance of Pediatric In-Vitro Aerosol Studies?
The material and pliability of the model "face" surface has a significant influence on both the seal and delivery efficiency of face masks. This finding should be taken into account during in-vitro aerosol studies.
This series shows that the WT with a polypropylene/polyester mesh allows safe off-pump treatment of patients with iAA. Mid- and long-term results are promising. This technique could be an attractive alternative, especially for patients unfit for aortic surgery with CPB and cardioplegia.
