BACKGROUND
It has been suggested that relative hypovolemia due to overnight fasting may result in postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of preoperative and intraoperative hydration (the necessary amount of fluid preoperatively to cover the
Pheochromocytomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors arising from chromaffin cells of the adrenal gland. Because of their highly variable clinical spectrum, these tumors often go undiagnosed and result in life-threatening complications. The typical presentations include episodic headache, palpitations
We tested the hypothesis that breathing through an inspiratory threshold device (ITD) during progressive central hypovolemia would protect cerebral perfusion and attenuate the reporting of presyncopal symptoms. Eight human subjects were exposed to lower-body negative pressure (LBNP) until the
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the differences between ondansetron and palonosetron in healthcare resource use (i.e., inpatient/ outpatient encounters) among patients receiving intraperitoneal cisplatin.
METHODS
A medical record review was performed. Intraperitoneal cisplatin administrations for gynecological
OBJECTIVE
Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a frequent complication and may be a reason for increased morbidity and cost of treatment. Following elective surgery, it is believed to result from gut ischaemia consequent to hypovolemia from overnight fasting. This study was carried out to
OBJECTIVE
To investigate clinical, MRI, and radioisotope findings and therapeutic outcome of the syndrome of CSF hypovolemia.
METHODS
Retrospective review was performed of 30 consecutive patients (10 men, 20 women; mean age 37 years) with the syndrome of CSF hypovolemia.
RESULTS
All patients had an
A 49-year-old white man was admitted to the emergency department with nausea and diarrhea of 11 hours duration. He had experienced crampy abdominal pain as well. He reported that his stools had been dark and malodorous. He had no prior history of gastrointestinal disorders, nor travel, unusual oral
A 70-year-old woman admitted for nausea and diarrhea was diagnosed with Legionella pneumonia based on chest X-ray and urinary antigen testing. Despite severe complications, she recovered thanks to ciprofloxacin administration. On hospital day 8, she went into hypovolemic shock necessitating
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a cause of significant morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant recipients. Gastrointestinal (GI) tract infection by CMV in this population can cause symptomatic disease, which typically manifests as fever, abdominal pain, nausea, and bloody diarrhea. Erosive
The authors describe the case of a fifty-nine-year-old white man, previously in good health, who initiated his present illness with acute episode of enterocolitis characterized by mild fever and, in the next eight hours, twenty-four episodes of watery diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, as well as
BACKGROUND
Colchicine poisoning is potentially life-threatening. Deaths generally result from hypovolemic shock and cardiovascular collapse or secondary to rapidly progressive multiorgan failure.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study is to discuss the clinical effects, treatments and outcomes of
Acute exposure to arsenic trioxide has been reported to induce death and/or multiple organ damage with symptoms including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, cerebral edema, tachycardia, dysrhythmias and hypovolemic shock. Its toxic effects are due to its ability to bind to
Seven patients with refractory stage III ovarian carcinoma were treated with escalating doses of human recombinant interleukin 2 (rIL-2) administered via the intraperitoneal (IP) route in an attempt to establish a dose and schedule of rIL-2 suitable for prolonged outpatient IP administration. Three
Albumin, dextran, gelatin, and hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions are colloids that efficiently expand the circulating blood volume. The administration of colloids restores the intravascular volume with minimal risk of tissue edema in comparison with crystalloid solutions alone. However, colloids
Idiopathic intracranial hypotension (hypovolemia) is almost exclusively provoked by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage through spontaneously rent dural sac. An initial clinical feature of a severe headache with or without nausea/vomiting should be differentiated from a life-threatening stroke. An
