Is standard calculation of ethanol elimination rate sufficient to provide ethanol substitution therapy in the postoperative course of alcohol-dependent patients?
Close control of BEC and precise adjustment of ethanol administration are necessary prerequisites for ES. The standard EER is not sufficient to define the appropriate ethanol dosage due to enormous variations in the ethanol metabolism of alcohol-dependent patients.
We found no association between surgeon's experience and results of AF ablation, neither in SR conversion rate nor in morbidity and mortality.
