ΓùÅ Real time liver monitoring device under hepatic operation
Nagoya University researchers have ascertained that under ischemia conditions more nitric monoxide (NO) is generated in the liver and the amount of NO is closely related with ischemia and reperfusion injury: an injured liver produced less NO than healthy one during ischemia condition. By monitoring NO generation in the liver, liver condition under ischemia can be better understood and proper timing for reperfusion can be obtained. The device has a NO sensor and a monitor to display realtime amount of NO production in liver.
