HandS ECMO: Preliminary Experience With "Hub and Spoke" Model in Neonates With Meconium Aspiration Syndrome.

abstract：:The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of temperature on cerebral oxygen metabolism at total body flow bypass and antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP). Neonatal piglets were put on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with the initial flow rate of 200mL/kg/min. After cooling to 18°C (n=6) or 25°C (n=7), flow was reduce...
