Abstract:
Standard sleeve resection refers to the circumferential removal of a segment of the main bronchus in continuity with a lobectomy in order to avoid pneumonectomy. By doing so, surgery can be carried out in patients with compromised pulmonary function while also benefiting those with more normal function. It is most often indicated for malignant tumors located at the origin of the right upper lobe bronchus. Operative mortality is low and in the range of 2% to 3%, and quality of life and long-term survival are better than what is observed after pneumonectomy.

Electrocardiogram Fundamentals
An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia.
Definition
An electrocardiogram (ECG) visualizes the heart's electrical activity by tracing the electrical movement associated with each heartbeat on a graph or monitor. As the heart beats, an electrical wave passes through it, correlating with the cardiac cycle events.
