Operating room fires: optimizing safety.

abstract：:Currently, spinal cord stimulation is used to treat ischemia and ischemic pain, with the best results observed in vasospastic cases. It was earlier demonstrated that spinal cord stimulation may attenuate experimentally induced vasospasm in an island flap in the rat. The present study was designed to investigate whethe...
