Ethylene oxide sensitivity in hemodialysis patients.

abstract：PURPOSE:We were led to the premise that with retrograde oxygenated blood perfusion, it would be possible to perform operations on the beating heart. METHODS:The experiment consisted of two stages: procedure 1 and 2. In procedure 1, six pigs were used. Retrograde perfusion flow was controlled to be in the range of 5.0-...
