Sevoflurane consumption pattern by individual anaesthesiologists varies widely despite using the same high-end workstations in the same hospital Universiteit Gent KU Leuven

Alain Kalmar, Nicky Van Der Vekens, Jan Heerman, Jean-Paul Mulier, Pascal Verdonck
Volatile anaesthetics are potent greenhouse gasses but contemporary workstations enable considerable savings while improving patient safety. Institutions may provide this technology to reduce the ecological footprint but proper training and motivation is required to maximize their ecologic and financial benefit. This study aims to compare the sevoflurane consumption of 22 anaesthesiologists in a medium-sized hospital 4 years after flow-i ...

Tomographic PIV in a model of the left ventricle : 3D flow past biological and mechanical heart valves Universiteit Gent KU Leuven

Hicham Saaid, Jason Voorneveld, Christiaan Schinkel, Jos Westenberg, Frank Gijsen, Patrick Segers, Pascal Verdonck, Nico de Jong, Johan G. Bosch, Sasa Kenjeres, et al.
Left ventricular flow is intrinsically complex, three-dimensional and unsteady. Its features are susceptible to cardiovascular pathology and treatment, in particular to surgical interventions involving the valves (mitral valve replacement). To improve our understanding of intraventricular fluid mechanics and the impact of various types of prosthetic valves thereon, we have developed a custom-designed versatile left ventricular phantom with ...
