"Principles of anesthesia are the same in Lviv Surgical Center. However, in ChoP I saw anesthesia protocols and preoperative management for children with complicated cases, primarily children with one ventricle physiology. I also observed anesthesia with new volatile and intravenous agents. In Ukraine we know about this kind of agent, however we cannot work with them because they are very expensive." from report of Dr. Lyubomyr Solovey, Anesthesiologist, October 22, 2002.
