Article Synopsis
- - The study implemented a structured lung ultrasound system using the COVID-RADS standard to assess COVID-19 cases, correlating ultrasound findings with disease severity and ventilatory needs.
- - Analysis of 69 ultrasound exams showed certain patterns in lung involvement, with higher COVID-RADS scores linked to the need for increased oxygen support.
- - The research highlights the utility of lung ultrasound as an accessible diagnostic tool during the pandemic, proposing a replicable system for future clinical use beyond COVID-19.
Background: Liver ischemia reperfusion injury is still an unsolved problem in liver surgery and transplantation. In this setting, hypothermia is the gold standard method for liver preservation for transplantation. Hypertonic saline solution reduces inflammatory response with better hemodynamic recovery in several situations involving ischemia reperfusion injury.
