BACKGROUND
Isocapnic hyperventilation (IHV) shortens recovery time after inhalation anaesthesia by increasing ventilation while maintaining a normal airway carbon dioxide (CO2 )-level. One way of performing IHV is to infuse CO2 to the inspiratory limb of a breathing circuit during mechanical
To explore the Nijmegen Questionnaire (NQ) and its relationship to vestibular function tests and symptoms in patients with dizziness; to compare patient characteristics between those with a positive Nijmegen score and patients clinically diagnosed with hyperventilation syndrome Emesis requires a coordinated differential recruitment of gastrointestinal smooth muscle, upper airway muscles, and several muscles involved in respiration. In seven awake intact canines we measured the electrical activity (electromyogram) and shortening of costal and crural diaphragm segments,
The characteristics of hyperventilation syndrome (HVS) were studied in 508 patients who visited our hospital over 11 years. Information regarding symptoms and laboratory data was collected from the clinical records, and outcome was surveyed with a questionnaire mailed to all patients. Patients with
Preoperative prolonged fasting may cause starvation ketoacidosis. Herein, we report of a case of starvation ketoacidosis due to long-term fasting before surgery.We report of a case of metabolic acidosis due to prolonged fasting in a previously healthy Chronic hematomas are a common problem during infancy and usually occur as the consequence of trauma. They tend to enlarge and are often managed successfully with repeated subdural taps. In patients with collections that fail to respond to percutaneous drainage, the choice of operative management,
Psychogenic epidemics cover various forms of collective behavior and include mass hysteria, mass psychogenic illness, and hysterical contagion for which no physical explanation can be found. The typical course of a psychogenic epidemic at a workplace progresses from sudden onset, often with dramatic
Pneumomediastinum and epidural pneumatosis are rare complications of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). These result from the emesis and hyperventilation associated with DKA which lead to alveolar rupture and air escape into the mediastinal and epidural spaces. These complications are often asymptomatic
BACKGROUND
Naloxone is standard medication for the treatment of heroin intoxications. No large-scale studies have yet been carried out to determine its toxicity in heroin intoxications.
METHODS
We have undertaken an investigation as to the frequency, type and degree of severity of complications
Our aim is to report the association between idiopathic occipital epilepsy and childhood absence epilepsy in the same children. Six children met the diagnostic criteria for both idiopathic occipital epilepsy and childhood absence epilepsy, five patients with idiopathic occipital epilepsy Gastaut
A case of hypertensive intracerebellar hematoma surgically treated and cured was reported. The 41-year-old male had two cerebrovascular attacks with headache and vomiting followed by left hemiparesis. Drowsiness and dysarthria appeared the next day. The patient was admitted to a hospital, where
A 53-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital for chest pain with headache, nausea and vomiting, two and a half hours after an intramuscular injection of 6 x 10(6) units of IFN (interferon) alpha 2a, in the 11th week of IFN treatment for chronic hepatitis C. The electrocardiogram (ECG) showed ST
We present a case of anesthesia for electroconvulsive (ECT) therapy that was complicated by emetic sensitivity to etomidate, fragile ictal threshold, and mild pseudocholinesterase deficiency. The anesthetic was designed in this patient taking all his issues in consideration. The mild
BACKGROUND
Lactic acidosis (LA) is the most common form of metabolic acidosis, defined by lactate values greater than 5 mmol/L and pH<7.34. The pathogenesis of LA involves hypoxic causes (type A) and non-hypoxic (type B), often coexisting. Identification and removal of the trigger are mandatory in
