Heart‐Rate Variability and Its Role in Non‐Cardiac Surgery Perioperative Care: Scoping Review
ABSTRACT Background Heart rate variability (HRV) is a non‐invasive method of assessing autonomic function. Those with autonomic dysfunction may be at heightened risk of peri‐operative complications due to sympatho‐parasympathetic imbalance. This review summarises the clinical applications of HRV, approaches to how it is measured, and its role in ...

Experimental Extracorporeal Circulation System: A Pilot Study in Rats
A miniature extracorporeal circulation (ECC) system was developed for reproducible rodent studies. This system incorporates an integrated heat exchanger and a silicone membrane oxygenator within a double‐lumen circuit, resulting in an ultralow priming volume of < 1.5 mL.
