Prof. Lankadeva highlights the pivotal role of OxyLite™ and OxyFlo™ in his breakthrough research
Prof. Yugeesh Lankadeva‘s recent public lecture, delivered at Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, Melbourne, describes his team’s groundbreaking renal research.
Citing work in clinically relevant sheep models, Prof. Lankadeva describes that reduced microcirculatory blood flow and oxygen in the inner region of the kidneys (the renal medulla) are associated with acute kidney injury, a common risk during heart surgery.
The team employ both our OxyFlo™ system, for renal blood flow measurements, and our OxyLite™ oxygen monitor, to provide real-time kidney and urinary oxygen measurements.

The full-length public lecture also covers other novel research taking place at The Florey Institute.
The additional speakers, including Associate Prof. Lachlan Miles, Dr. Lindsea Booth, Dr. Emily See, and Prof. Rinaldo Bellomo, discuss breakthrough work on the treatment and prevention of brain and kidney complications arising from heart surgery and heart failure, and its translation into the clinical arena.
