DOI: 10.1097/01.ccm.0000643636.21028.5f
Abstract: Introduction/Hypothesis: No reliable method exists to evaluate how organ dysfunction (OD) following cardiopulmonary bypass in pediatric lung transplantation affects morbidity outcomes. Post lung transplantation, OD can reflect preoperative organ failure, intraoperative organ damage and post-operative… read more here.
