epinephrine/edema

An unusual case in which pulmonary edema and intracranial hemorrhage occurred during adenotonsillectomy is presented. The possible causes of this intracranial hemorrhage are discussed, especially in relationship to local epinephrine infiltration.

Searching for an experimental condition to produce pulmonary edema of uniform high grade severity in rabbits, five different doses of epinephrine (38,60, 100, 160 and 260 mug/ml) were infused at a rate of 0.29 ml/min for 20 min into the femoral vein of fed and fasted animals. Body temperature was

Hip arthroscopy utilization has significantly increased in recent years. While it is a relatively safe procedure, it is not without risk. Life-threatening complications, albeit rare, can potentially occur and must be appropriately recognized and treated. We describe 2 cases in which patients'

In order to elucidate the pathogenesis of epinephrine (E)-induced lung edema (LE) as well as the mechanism of protection afforded by alpha-adrenoceptor blockade in urethane-anesthetized and bivagotomized rats, we investigated the influence of phentolamine (Phe) and prazosin (Praz) on arterial

The present study was performed in order to determine protective effect of dl-alpha-tocopheryl nictonate (EN) and dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate (EA) on pulmonary edema induced by epinephrine (Epi) in mice. The tocopheryl esters were orally administered once a day for 10 days. Epi was then infused to

In vagotomized and pentobarbital-anesthetized rats, massive pulmonary hemorrhagic edema was produced by cerebral compression (CC) or an injection of epinephrine (EP) 0.25 mg/kg. The pulmonary changes were induced following severe Cushing reaction manifested by systemic hypertension. We determined

Phentolamine (Phe) prevents the induction by epinephrine (E: 1800 nmol/kg, i.v.) of lung edema (LE) in urethane-anesthetized and bivagotomized rats in a dose-related manner (from 246 to 3933 nmol/kg, i.v.). Since Phe blocks and E activates both alpha 1- and alpha 2-adrenoceptors, the evidence does

A population of glaucomatous aphakic eyes being treated with topical epinephrine compounds was studied in order to determine the incidence of cystoid macular edema that had been induced by this medication. Eyes were considered responders only if fluorescein angiography demonstrated that macular

One hundred twenty-eight consecutive aphakic glaucomatous eyes of 91 patients were examined by fluorescein angiography. Macular edema was present in 16 (28%) of 56 eyes currently being treated with epinephrine and 9 (13%) of 72 eyes not currently being treated with epinephrine. This difference is

A mixture of local anesthetic and epinephrine provides hemostasis for ear microsurgery. However, epinephrine has adverse cardiovascular effects, such as arrhythmia, pulmonary edema, and even cardiac arrest. We have experienced catecholamine-induced cardiovascular crisis, with severe hypertension,

Case reports of neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) often indicate that the edema resolves quickly. Because plasma epinephrine concentration may be elevated in NPE, and epinephrine has been shown to increase the rate of alveolar liquid clearance (ALC), we determined if ALC was increased in a canine

A 69-year-old man with bilateral open-angle glaucoma and nonfiltering iridencleisis scars underwent combined cataract extraction and glaucoma filtering operations in each eye. Later, he again required intensive medical therapy including topically applied echothiophate iodide, epinephrine, and

OBJECTIVE Epinephrine is frequently administered as an essential drug for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in clinical situations. Unfortunately, epinephrine elicits unfavorable effects, for example pulmonary edema, both during and after CPR. We hypothesized that administration of landiolol

Biomarkers are essential to unravel the locked pathophysiology of any disease. This study investigated the role of biomarkers and their interactions with each other and with the clinical parameters to study the physiology of high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) in HAPE-patients (HAPE-p) against

High doses (10-40 micrograms/Kg, i.v.), of epinephrine evoke conspicuous consumption of circulatory rat kininogen (Kg), an effect not observed in animals pre-treated with either soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI, 10 mg/Kg, i.v.), Trasylol (1000 KIU/Kg, i.v.) or Aspirin (10 mg/Kg). Kg consumption by
