hypercapnia/edema

We describe a patient with combined meningococcal septicemia and meningitis, cerebral edema and acute respiratory distress syndrome, in whom we balanced the conflicting carbon dioxide strategies for optimal pulmonary and neurological management using jugular oxygen saturation (SjvO2) monitoring to

The effects of hypoxia and superimposed hypercapnia or hypertension during hypoxia on brain tissue water content, pH, and electric activity were studied in Sprague-Dawley and stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats. Auditory brainstem responses and sensory evoked potentials were recorded during

Curcumin, extracted from South Asian spice turmeric, has been determined to have the promising ability in antioxidation and anti-inflammation. However, the effect of curcumin on treating brain damage has been not reported. In this article, the aim was to evaluate the effect of curcumin on cell

BACKGROUND Patients with severe cardiogenic pulmonary edema (CPE) are frequently hypercapnic, possibly because of associated underlying chronic lung disease (CLD). Since hypercapnia has been associated with outcome, we aimed to identify factors associated to hypercapnia and its role on outcome of

The present study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of curcumin (CU) against brain edema in a rat model of hypoxia-hypercapnia (HH)-induced brain damage (HHBD). Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups, including a control group and four treatment groups. The rats in the

The present studies were performed in order to determine whether "filtration edema" will develop as a consequence of cerebral vasoparalysis, vasoparalysis in combination with arterial hypertension or arterial hypertension alone. A series of dogs, anaesthetised with i.v. Chloralose-Urethane were

Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is the recommended ventilatory support for acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (CPE) associated with acute respiratory failure or hypercapnia. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has emerged as an alternative to NIV in acute hypoxemic respiratory

Thirteen adult rabbits were exposed to a breathing air mixture containing an increasing amount of CO2 for eight weeks. When the CO2 content reached 9 Vol% the animals became apathic and lost body weight. The EEG showed a reduction of the amplitudes of 1o Hz frequences. Blood gases revealed an

BACKGROUND Assuming that HFOV (high frequency oscillatory ventilation) with hypercapnia could be more protective than normocapnia, in a rat model of lung injury, we evaluated the effect of hypercapnic acidosis during HFOV. METHODS After inducing lung injury by intratracheal instillation of
