[Treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension through pulmonary thromboendarterectomy and the effect of deep hypothermia circulation arrest thereon].
To evaluate the role of the pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) in the treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and the effect of the deep hypothermia circulation arrest (DHCA) thereon. ⋯ DHCA is a necessary and elementary condition for PTE, and it is a key factor in promoting the effect of PTE to treat the pulmonary reflux injury and residual pulmonary hypertension properly.

Controlled Clinical Trial[Low minimal stimulating current improves infraclavicular brachial plexus block efficacy].
To investigate if low minimal stimulating current used in nerve stimulator localizing is associated with a greater likelihood of infraclavicular block success. ⋯ Minimal stimulating current lower than 0.3 mA, significantly lower than the recommended value (0.5 mA), improves the efficacy of infraclavicular brachial plexus block, especially when the posterior cord is stimulated.
