How effective is acute normovolaemic haemodilution in femoro-distal bypass surgery? (2002)
Journal Article
Spark, J., Chetter, I., Kester, R., & Scott, D. (2002). How effective is acute normovolaemic haemodilution in femoro-distal bypass surgery?. Cardiovascular Surgery -Oxford-, 10(5), 460-463. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0967-2109%2802%2900060-1

Background: Recent guidelines have emphasised the use of autologous blood in the surgical setting. The aim of this study was to analyse the efficacy and efficiency of acute normovolaemic haemodilution (ANH) as a blood conservation intervention in pat...

European journal of vascular and endovascular surgery : the official journal of the European Society for Vascular Surgery, 23(3), 209-211. https://doi.org/10.1053/ejvs.2001.1557

Objectives: the aim was to test the predictive accuracy of POSSUM and P-POSSUM on patients undergoing CEA. Design: retrospective and prospective study. Materials: 499 CEAs performed by four vascular surgeons from a single unit from 1992-99. The media... Read More about POSSUM and P-POSSUM overpredict mortality for carotid endarterectomy.

Risk modelling study for carotid endarterectomy (2001)
Journal Article
Kuhan, G., Gardiner, E. D., Abidia, A. F., Chetter, I. C., Renwick, P. M., Johnson, B. F., …McCollum, P. T. (2001). Risk modelling study for carotid endarterectomy. British journal of surgery, 88(12), 1590-1594. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.0007-1323.2001.01938.x

Background: The aims of this study were to identify factors that influence the risk of stroke or death following carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and to develop a model to aid in comparative audit of vascular surgeons and units. Methods: A series of 839... Read More about Risk modelling study for carotid endarterectomy.

Hyperbaric oxygen restores the antioxidant defence mechansim following exercise in patients with intermittent claudication (2001)
Journal Article
Abidia, A., Kuhan, G., Laden, G., Bahia, H., Chetter, I., Greenman, J., & McCollum, P. (2001). Hyperbaric oxygen restores the antioxidant defence mechansim following exercise in patients with intermittent claudication. Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society meeting abstracts, 28(32), 0 - 0

BACKGROUND: Intermittent claudication represents a minor ischaemia reperfusion episode. Exposure to hyperbaric oxygen during such episodes is a concern to many vascular surgeons because of the theoretical risk of generating excess free radicals. We a...

The placebo effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy - fact or fiction? (2001)
Conference Proceeding
Abidia, A., Kuhan, G., Laden, G., Bahia, H., Chetter, I., & McCollum, P. (2001). The placebo effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy - fact or fiction?.

BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) frequently report improvement in their health status; however, it is debatable whether this is a true effect of HBO or a placebo. We aimed to investigate the placebo effect of receiving... Read More about The placebo effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy - fact or fiction?.

Analysis of cold provocation thermography in the objective diagnosis of the hand-arm vibration syndrome (1999)
Journal Article
Coughlin, P., Chetter, I. C., Kent, P. J., & Kester, R. C. (1999). Analysis of cold provocation thermography in the objective diagnosis of the hand-arm vibration syndrome. British journal of surgery, 86(5), 694-695. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2168.1999.0694c.x

Background:The hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) is the commonest prescribed disease in the UK. Presently the diagnosis is subjective and the need for an objective investigation to support the diagnosis has been highlighted. This study analyses the...
