anaphylaxis/hypoxia

The repeated effect of microwave radiation on guinea pigs was shown to arrest the anaphylactic shock and the related changes in histamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine content in the blood. The long-term adaptation of animals to hypoxia prevented this effect.

Leukotrienes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension in adult animals and in persistent pulmonary hypertension with accompanying hypoxemia in the neonate. In order to elucidate the role of leukotrienes in hypoxic pulmonary hypertension in a young animal model, the

BACKGROUND Increased concentrations of mast cell tryptase in post mortem blood have frequently been observed in sudden infant deaths but the cause of this has not yet been clarified. OBJECTIVE The aim was to evaluate factors (immunological, morphological and anamnestic data) behind the observed

We report here a case of rocuronium-induced anaphylactic shock in a 41-year-old woman. She was scheduled for partial hepatectomy due to liver metastasis of a pheochromocytoma. Anesthesia was induced with propofol, remifentanil, and rocuronium. Bag-mask ventilation was difficult, and her blood

Anaphylaxis or anaphylactoid reaction in pediatric patient during anesthesia is rare. We report a rocuronium induced anaphylactic reaction in a 33-month-old female. The patient was scheduled to undergo escharectomy due to injuries suffered from a major burn. Shortly after administration of

Hypoxic brain injury can be a complication following several well known situations or disorders. The neurological and neuropsychological characteristics of patients who suffer hypoxic brain injury depend on the mechanism of injury and the structures of the brain that are particularly vulnerable to

Nine episodes of fulminant noncardiogenic pulmonary edema after cardiopulmonary bypass were observed in eight patients between September 1977 and December 1982. All these catastrophic reactions occurred during administration of fresh frozen plasma 30 minutes to 6 hours after discontinuation of

1. Nine unoperated dogs snowed a rise of blood sugar dunng anaphylactic shock. In six of these dogs the rise was 60 mg. or over. 2. Six dogs in which one adrenal had long previously been extirpated and the opposite splanchnic nerve cut, showed a low preliminary level of blood sugar, and a relative

OBJECTIVE In severe anaphylaxis, the cardiovascular system is often heavily involved. Preexisting cardiovascular disease may therefore influence the course of anaphylaxis in a negative way. RESULTS Systemic mastocytosis and elevated baseline serum tryptase are associated with severe and fatal

An anaphylactic reaction in the isolated perfused heart is characterized by a drastic coronary constriction, arrhythmias, and an impairment of contractility. In vivo anaphylaxis is associated with respiratory distress and cardiovascular failure. The present investigation was designed to ascertain

OBJECTIVE Anaphylactic cardiovascular collapse can be resistant to treatment with epinephrine (adrenaline) and, in some cases, diagnostic uncertainty compromises follow-up care. The purpose of this review is to examine recent studies relevant to the management and diagnosis of this

In vivo anaphylaxis is associated with respiratory distress and cardiovascular failure. The present investigation was designed to further characterize respiratory and cardiac anaphylactic events. In guinea pigs, sensitization was produced by subcutaneous application of ovalbumin together with

BACKGROUND Wasp stings have been demonstrated to cause a wide spectrum of allergic reactions from localised reactions to anaphylaxis. Acute coronary syndromes have been described as potential complications of anaphylactic reactions or some of the drugs used for the treatment of anaphylaxis. We know
