Why the study?
Does indirect measurement of intramural pH predict the development of ischemic colitis and death in high-risk patients undergoing abdominal aortic operations?
Does indirect measurement of intramural pH predict the development of ischemic colitis and death in high-risk patients undergoing abdominal aortic operations?
Intramural pH measurement on the day of abdominal aortic operations strongly predicts the development of ischemic colitis and subsequent mortality.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Intramural pH may identify high-risk aortic surgery patients; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before adoption.
