The effect of tolazoline was assessed in 29 hypoxic neonates. Tolazoline was given in a bolus starting at 1 mg/kg and repeated or infused for 5-134 hours. A "good clinical response," defined as a rise in PaO2 of more than 20 mm Hg, was obtained in 23 (79%), 20 of this group were weaned from the
The Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS) is a clinical entity, which can be defined as the adverse physiologic consequences that occur as a result of a severe increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), and is characterized by cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, splanchnic, and intra-cranial
A retrospective cohort study of patients with multiple nosocomial bloodstream infections (BSIs) compared with patients suffering only one BSI was conducted to assess morbidity and mortality. Three hundred forty-one patients with BSIs were identified, including 33 with multiple BSIs (9.7%). No
Acute mountain sickness is a pathologic reaction as a result of bad adaptation to high altitudes (greater than 2.500 meters). The main symptoms are headache, nausea, vomits, and insomnia. When severe it can produce oliguria, retinal hemorrhage, ataxia and sometimes coma. Its etiology is not well
Plasma vasopressin concentration was measured by radioimmunoassay before, during, and after anesthesia and surgery in ten subjects. During the short period between the onset of anesthesia and the start of operation, small elevations of vasopressin level were noted. Surgery itself was associated with
The process of adaptation for extrauterine life can be easily disturbed by respiratory insufficiency. The surfactant deficiency as well as anatomical and physiological immaturity of a newborn can be considered as etiological factors in some diseases, such as respiratory distress syndrome (RDS),
BACKGROUND
Intravascular fluid loss contributes to pancreatitis-associated multiple organ dysfunction and is thus a major target for therapy in this life-threatening disease.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate intravascular fluid loss and extravascular fluid sequestration together with cardiorespiratory and
OBJECTIVE
Treatment of ductus arteriosus is controversial. The merits and timing of ductus ligation versus indomethacin treatment were compared.
METHODS
Study parameters for infants with PDA (June 1988 through March 2001) included age, weight, physical findings, echocardiograph,
Animal and human studies suggest that fetal oliguria is a normal physiologic response to hypoxemia. To assess the clinical significance of this observation, we studied (before their admission) 51 fetuses of women whose pregnancies were complicated by oligohydramnios at greater than or equal to 38
This study examined the necessity for an intensive care environment after abdominal aortic surgery. The detailed records of 45 consecutive patients were reviewed for the first 48 h after operation, recording the occurrence and numbers of episodes of defined medical events or prescription of
BACKGROUND
Multiple organ failure (MOF) is the most severe complication and the most frequent cause of death in acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP).
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the components and the time course of MOF in an experimental model of ANP.
METHODS
Induction of ANP in rats by a standardised
Dilation of the pulmonary arteries and increased pulmonary blood volume are recorded in sudden infant death syndrome and in infants living at low barometric pressures (high altitude). Low barometric pressure leads to chronic alveolar hypoxia (1,2). There is diversion and loss of body-fluid under
On the basis of microsphere distribution, inert gas washout, and standard clearance data, the effects of acute hypoxia and hypercapnia on the kidney were studied in anesthetized, mechanically ventilated rats. Moderate hypoxia (mean PO2, 48 mm Hg) did not significantly change diuresis, GFR, and
This article reviews renal, neurologic, cardiac, and pulmonary abnormalities in the term infant following perinatal asphyxia. The relationship of oliguria to central nervous system abnormalities is discussed, as well as the relationship of current measures of fetal hypoxia and long-term neurologic
BACKGROUND
This study was designed to determine whether a decrease in renal oxygenation occurs during CO2 pneumoperitoneum in children with normal renal function undergoing laparoscopy.
METHODS
Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) probes were applied to both the lateral flank (T10-L2) and lateral
