There are many scores for evaluating multiple organ dysfunction (MODS) which differ appreciably, and this makes it difficult to compare results from different research groups. In addition the variables used to describe organ dysfunction are not always as organ-specific as they should be. In this review we have studied 20 MODS scoring systems to illustrate the variety in variables used to assess organ dysfunction.
A detailed technique is described to safely inspect visually the function of the atrioventricular (mitral, common atrioventricular, or tricuspid) valve in the beating, fully loaded, but not ejecting left or right ventricle. The heartbeat is reestablished while the ascending aorta is kept cross-clamped and air from the ascending aorta is vented out. The left or right ventricle is filled via a 6-mm internal diameter tube derived from the arterial return line. To allow filling of the right ventricle for tricuspid valve evaluation, the pulmonary artery is snared down in addition.
