Proof of Concept for Ozone-Based Disinfection of Heater Cooler Units
Heater Cooler Units (HCUs) are frequently used not only during heart surgery but also in ECMO therapy to regulate the blood temperature of patients. It is known from cardiac surgery that the water circuits of HCUs can be bacterially contaminated and under adverse conditions can lead to a nosocomial...
