OxyLite™ and OxyFlo™ endorsed in public lecture
Prof. Lankadeva highlights the role of OxyLite™ and OxyFlo™ in his breakthrough research
Prof. Yugeesh Lankadeva‘s recent public lecture, delivered at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, Melbourne, describes his team’s ground-breaking research, which is focused on the causes and prevention of acute kidney injury (AKI), a common risk following major surgery and sepsis events.
Citing work in clinically relevant sheep models, Prof. Lankadeva describes how heart surgery and anaesthesia are associated with reduced microcirculatory blood flow and oxygen partial pressure in the inner region of the kidneys (the renal medulla). The lecture discusses approaches for mitigating this potential cause for AKI in clinical practice.
The team employ both our OxyFlo™ system for renal blood flow measurements, and our OxyLite™ oxygen monitor for real-time kidney and urinary oxygen measurements.
The full-length lecture, additionally featuring Assoc. Prof. Lachlan Miles, Dr. Lindsea Booth, Dr. Emily See, and Prof. Rinaldo Bellomo covers other novel research taking place at The Florey Institute, including breakthrough work on the treatment and prevention of brain and kidney complications arising from heart surgery, and its translation into the clinical arena.
