Association of intraoperative cerebral and muscular tissue oxygen saturation with postoperative complications and length of hospital stay after major spine surgery: an observational study.

abstract：:Some recipients of isolated, orthotopic lung transplants have now survived to leave hospital with greatly improved quality of life. Inevitably, the successful demonstration of the feasibility of these operations means that transplant centres throughout the world may wish to participate in a lung transplant programme. ...
