Background: Upper ministernotomy for sutureless aortic prosthesis implantation provides an attractive opportunity compared to conventional access. Although in the last decade, the former has gained popularity, data comparing quality of life (QoL) following these procedures are scarce.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the patient's QoL after aortic valve replacement (AVR) using a ministernotomy approach compared to a full sternotomy.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the acronym CALL TO ECLS to improve decision-making for patient qualification in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest for the ECMO procedure.
- A survey conducted among experts rated various criteria on a scale of usefulness, importance, clarity, and unambiguity, showing high validity with I-CVI scores between 0.87 and 0.97.
- The feedback led to revisions of the acronym, enhancing clarity and usefulness, particularly by adding explanations like "Signs of life" in the context of CPR.
