benzyl alcohol/hemorrhage

Benzyl alcohol preservative in intravascular flush solutions has been reported to cause neurologic deterioration and death in very low birth weight infants. Following the widespread discontinuation of the use of such solutions in newborns, scattered reports of decreased mortality and decreased

Intraventricular hemorrhage and death in preterm neonates has been associated with the use of fluid containing benzyl alcohol, a bacteriostatic agent, to flush intravascular catheters. The hospital and autopsy records of infants admitted to a nursery during the last 18 months that benzyl alcohol was

We unknowingly "screened" all NICU infants for elevated levels of serum benzyl alcohol (Bz-OH) over a three-month period. The fortuitous "screening" procedure resulted from the interference by Bz-OH with a routine blood CO2 assay used for all infants; validity was proved by (1) replication of the

Benzyl alcohol preservative in solutions used to flush intravascular catheters has been linked with increased mortality and incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage in small preterm infants. This study evaluated the outcome of surviving very low birth weight infants exposed to benzyl alcohol while

Toxicology and carcinogenesis studies of technical-grade benzyl alcohol (99% pure), a textile dye additive, solvent, and food flavoring agent, were conducted by administering the chemical by gavage in corn oil vehicle to groups of F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice of each sex for 16 days, 13 weeks, or 2

The studies covered 211 women employed at a Technical Articles Plant in exposure to chemical solvents, such as: methyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, xylene, toluene, n-amyl acetate. The workplaces were ventilated and the concentrations of

OBJECTIVE We investigated factors associated with isolated mental delay in infants weighing < 1250 g at birth. METHODS With a case-control design, matching variables for 40 cases included gestation, birth weight, sex, grade of intraventricular hemorrhage, and socioeconomic status. Case subjects had

OBJECTIVE Voltarol for injection (a diclofenac sodium formulation employing polyethylene glycol and benzyl alcohol [PG-BA] as excipients) is marketed in Europe but not in North America. A suspension, PG-BA diclofenac sodium, requires preparation for each patient and slow IV infusion to minimize

We conducted a retrospective 11-year survey to evaluate the post-treatment course in 285 patients with esophagogastric varices following administration of endoscopic injection sclerotherapy as an emergency, elective, or prophylactic procedure using freshly prepared 2% sodium tetradecyl sulfate not

(1) The concentrations of unconjugated and conjugated phenol, p-cresol, benzyl alcohol, catechol, hydroquinone, homocatechol, and 2-methoxyresorcinol in uremic serum were determined using a mass fragmentographic method. Concentrations of all phenols in uremic serum were higher than in normal serum.

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to review the incidence and clinical outcome of presumed sterile endophthalmitis after the off-label use of intravitreal Kenalog injections (triamcinolone acetonide with 1.5% benzyl alcohol) and to compare it with the presumed sterile endophthalmitis incidence after
