Why the study?
Does the carotid compression test predict tolerance and minimize complications in patients undergoing carotid ligation?
Does the carotid compression test predict tolerance and minimize complications in patients undergoing carotid ligation?
The carotid compression test, aided by atropine and electrocardiography, helps predict patient tolerance to carotid ligation with a low rate of permanent complications.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Carotid compression testing may aid ligation tolerance assessment with low permanent risk; leaves open validation in contemporary practice.
E. S. Gurdjian (1957) studied this question.
