Abstract
Background: Hemodynamic function may be depressed in the early postoperative stages after cardiac surgery.
The aim of this study was the analysis of the myocardial contractility in neonates after cardiopulmonary ... function in survived neonatal piglets remained stable 6 hours after
cardiopulmonary bypass and mild hypothermia probably due to regio...
