hypovolemia/edema

Four-hour arterial hypotension (decompensated phase) in dogs caused by acute blood loss, when the level of arterial pressure of 40 mmHg was maintained beginning from the 2nd and 3rd h by intra-arterial intermittent blood transfusion is an adequate model for reproducing a moderate ischemic edema of

Rat exposure to pure normobaric oxygen induces a specific non alveolar pulmonary edema which leads to massive pleural exudate. This does not induce hypoxemia, and is characterized by both hypovolemia and arterial hypotension with hypothermia. Histological findings shed some light on these special

Hereditary angioneurotic edema (HAE) is characterized by recurrent attacks of edema of the upper airways, face, and limbs, and/or abdominal pains sometimes mimicking surgical abdomen. Our patient, a 24-year-old woman, had undergone laparotomy on a previous attack, at which a large amount of serious

Bilateral injections of aconitine in the preoptic-anterior hypothalamic area in rats produces pulmonary edema that is mediated by neurogenic mechanisms. The aim of the present study was to determine the efficacy of hypovolemia or intravenous methylprednisolone on preventing aconitine-induced

OBJECTIVE To compare crystalloid and colloid fluids in their effect on pulmonary edema in hypovolemic septic and nonseptic patients with or at risk for acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome. We hypothesized that 1) crystalloid loading results in more edema formation than colloid

Although most patients with uterine myomas are asymptomatic during pregnancy, profound enlargement of a pedunculated myoma has serious consequences. In the present case, gradual enlargement of a pedunculated myoma was observed throughout a woman's pregnancy, worsening after delivery and causing

OBJECTIVE It is largely unknown why extravascular lung water may increase during fluid loading in the critically ill with presumed hypovolemia. In this study we evaluated the hemodynamic predictors of such an increase. METHODS A prospective observational study. METHODS Sixty-three presumed

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the utility of fetal intracardiac transfusion to correct acute fetal hypovolemia and thrombocytopenia in fetal Parvovirus infection. METHODS Intracardiac transfusion in a 19-week gestation was indicated due to cordocentesis-associated hemorrhage. RESULTS Intracardiac

OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to find out whether children with minimal change disease can be classified as hypervolemic by objective measures. METHODS Eighteen children with minimal change disease diagnosed at our department between November 2005 and May 2007 were included in this study. All

After the acute onset of heart failure and in the absence of acute myocardial infarction, plasma volume may occasionally be depleted to the extent that the patient presents with clinical signs of circulatory shock. In five patients, the acute onset of clinical and radiographic signs of cardiogenic
