Surgery: Economic, Ethical

and Social Issues

Guest Editors: Michael Eliastam, M.D., M.PP Barbara Gastel, M.D., M.PH.

Proceedings of the first Technology Assessment Forum sponsored by the National Center for Health Care Technology (NCHCT), a United States Public Health Service agency. This forum represented the second phase of comprehensive assessment of coronary artery bypass graft surgery, which addressed the economic, ethical and social aspects. Each forum provided an opportuntity for everyone interested in a technology to participate in reviewing various aspects of it. Not only physicians and surgeons, but also representatives of the insurance industry and disability programs, and health planning, health financing, and patient and family groups participated in the Forum on CABG. The 2'/2 day forum consisted of commissioned papers, critiques prepared in advance by panelists, and several open forums for interaction among presenters, reviewers, and the audience.

CARDIAC OUTPUT

BY THERMODILUTION

"CARDIOMAX" model Il-R is the only computer which can measure car-diac output of rats (and also guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs, chickens, humans and horses). For rats, it uses unique Columbus Instruments thermodilution microprobes 1/3 mm in size!

It also measures systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressures and heart rate up to 1000 beats/minute. Stroke volumes is also automatically computed.

Why Measure Cardiac Output of Rats?

Development of salt sensitive and salt resistive strains of rats provided inexpensive models for studying hypertension. Dynamics of rat circula-tory system is similar to dogs or humans. Studies on rats cost only a frac-tion of studies using dogs.

Automatic Measurements Without Supervision

All parameters (cardiac output, stroke volume, three blood pressures, blood temperature, heart rate, time of day) can automatically be meas-ured periodically and printed when using "CARDIOMAX-II-R" with Columbus Instruments Automatic Injector and Printer.

Current Perspectives

in Hypertension

Guest Editor: David A. McCarron, M.D.

This monograph represents the proceedings of a Symposium sponsored by the Campbell Soup Company in March 1982, and discusses an area of high blood pressure research that is of vital interest to investigators, clinicians, public policy makers, food manufacturers, and the general public. The manuscripts included provide reviews of specific topics, original research, and com-mentaries related to nutrition and blood pressure. The supple-ment also reviews the current state of knowledge regarding nutrients and their established and postulated contribution to blood pressure regulation.
