چکیده
Mishaps, near misses, and lethal incidents are known to occur during cardiopulmonary bypass. We share one such rare case of break in polycarbonate connector because of the use of isoflurane in extracorporeal circuit and its successful management.

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is widely used for cardiac surgery by virtue of its proven safety over the course of its use during the past half century. Even though perfusion is safer, incidents still occur. During the repair of a ventricular-septal defect in an 11-month-old infant, we experienced a critical incident related to the potential hazardous effect of volatile anesthetics on the polyca...

Background: The purpose of this work is to discover and analyze errors and incidents in some radiotherapy centers, and to introduce methods that could reduce their occurrences, especially those which had happened due to the use of improper and inadequate equipment. This work is a first step toward clarifying the role of education in a risk-conscious culture, and changing the attitude of radioth...
متن کاملUse of volatile anesthetics in extracorporeal circulation.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The use of volatile anesthetics in cardiac surgery is not recent. Since the introduction of halothane in clinical practice, several cardiac surgery centers started to use these anesthetics constantly. CONTENT In the last years a great number of studies have shown that the volatile anesthetics have a protecting effect against myocardial ischemic dysfunction. Experimen...

Background and Aims: Freestanding fixed partial prosthesis is considered the first choice whenever possible. However, anatomical limitations for implants and other reasons may create situation in which it would be preferable to connect the implants to teeth. A biomechanical dilemma in a tooth/implant-supported system comes from dissimilar mobility. This disparity cause the bridge to function as...
