Anterior mediastinal masses: an anaesthetic challenge.

abstract：:High-dependency units are of benefit to patients and to the associated intensive care unit. However, the effectiveness of high-dependency care has not been quantified. We studied 100 consecutive patients whose high-dependency unit admission was longer than 48 h. The Logistic Organ Dysfunction System was used to assess...
