pneumothorax/potassium

1. The effects of asphyxia, hypoxia, hypercapnia, stimulation of peripheral chemoreceptors, pneumothorax and breathing through resistances have been investigated on laryngeal resistance to airflow in anaesthetized cats, with and without bilateral vagotomy below the origin of the recurrent laryngeal

1. Action potentials have been recorded from single laryngeal motor fibres, with expiratory or inspiratory phases, in cats anaesthetized with pentobarbitone and breathing through a tracheal cannula.2. Pneumothorax increased the discharge of both inspiratory and expiratory units, the inspiratory

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to characterise the imaging features seen in fetuses having undergone feticide by intracardiac potassium chloride injection compared to those of non-terminated fetuses at post-mortem magnetic resonance imaging (PMMRI). METHODS A case-control study was performed

Improved methods for monitoring and treating critically ill patients have increased the number of surgical candidates with multiorgan system impairment. Whereas such patients may have been considered "too sick to undergo surgery" in the past, many such patients linger in the intensive care unit

Control of bleeding is one of the most technically challenging steps in laparoscopic renal surgery, especially partial nephrectomy. Although there is no consensus on how best to approach hemostasis, the options continue to expand. The original method of sutured renorrhaphy is, perhaps, the most

OBJECTIVE To review the experience with the management of single lung transplantation for emphysema. METHODS Between January 2003 and August 2006, single lung transplantation was performed in 6 patients for emphysema with cold low potassium solution flushing. A triple-drug regimen was adopted using

Non invasive ventilation (NIV) plays a vital role in the treatment of an episode of Hypercapnic respiratory failure (HRF) in Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. We wanted to investigate the possible effect on NIV outcomes of i) demographic factors, ii) the etiology of an episode
