Complement activation and cardiac surgery: a novel target for improving outcomes.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Premedication with midazolam is commonly used in children to reduce anxiety and improve cooperation before anesthesia. However, it has the potential to alter respiratory function because of its muscle relaxant properties. We assessed functional residual capacity (FRC), ventilation homogeneity, using a lung c...
