A rapid bail-out technique for reinsertion of a displaced tracheostomy tube in difficult situations.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Mesenteric ischaemia (MesI) remains a rare but lethal complication following cardiac surgery. Previously identified risk factors for MesI mortality (age, poor left ventricular (LV) function, cardiopulmonary bypass time and blood loss) are non-specific and cannot necessarily be modified. This study aims to id...
