tachypnea/hemorrhage

Persistent tachypnea and failure to thrive during infancy have a broad differential diagnosis which includes pulmonary and cardiovascular disorders. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a rare entity in children. DAH requires an extensive work-up as certain conditions may need chronic therapy.

We describe the case of an infant who presented to our institution with tachypnea, cough, and hypoxemia. The baby had been diagnosed with complete heart block (heart rate 50-60 beats/min) in utero and had a pacemaker placed at birth. The mother was found to have both anti-Ro and anti-La antibodies.

Ten splenectomized and ten nonsplenectomized conscious dogs were subjected to hemorrhage of 41% of their blood volume over a 15-minute period. Hemodynamic and metabolic variables were monitored for 4 hours after hemorrhage. Mortality (100%) occurred in the splenectomized group. Significant (P <

Acoustic respiratory rate (RRa) monitoring is a non-invasive method of monitoring respiratory rate in spontaneously breathing individuals. The aim of this report is to highlight the clinical utility of this monitoring system in post-thyroidectomy patients by presenting a case of respiratory

OBJECTIVE To completely compare the risk factors, respiratory therapies and complications between respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and transient tachypnea of newborn (TTN) in preterm infants. METHODS Data were collected from preterm infants in Department of NICU, Peking University Third Hospital

BACKGROUND Diffuse alveolar haemorrhage (DAH) is a serious pulmonary complication characterised by a high mortality rate and the absence of specific treatment. The intrapulmonary administration of activated recombinant factor VII (rFVIIa) in DAH was recently published in six patients by Heslet et al

We report a case of massive chronic foetomaternal hemorrhage. The labor course was uncomplicated. The newborn presented with pallor. tachypnea, and moderate hepatosplenomegaly. The initial hemoglobin was 6.5 g/dl. The Kleihauer-Betke stain on a maternal blood sample was 12%, which is equivalent to

Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) infection was diagnosed in a 3-year-old yak. The yak had signs of intermittent tremors, dysphagia, oral ulcerative lesions, hemorrhagic enteritis, tachypnea, and thrombocytopenia. Postmortem diagnostics confirmed EHDV (serotype 2) using

To evaluate the body's compensatory reserves, experiments were made on anesthetized (with heparine) mongrel dogs of both sexes weighing 8-25 kg. The experiments have indicated that early monitoring of physiological parameters (external respiration, cardiovascular performance, hemostasis, red blood

Adequate management of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) requires, after early recognition, four components undertaken simultaneously: communication, resuscitation, monitoring, investigating the cause of bleeding, arresting the bleeding. Early recognition of PPH relies on either a perceived or a

Swelling of the right ankle and purpura on the bilateral lower extremities of a 6-year-old boy indicated a diagnosis of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP). The patient was referred to our hospital because of severe abdominal pain that was unresponsive to prednisolone. Respiratory symptoms and pulmonary

CONCLUSIONS We report a case of autonomic dysfunction secondary to intracranial hemorrhage. The patient had periodical episodes of hypertension, tachycardia, tachypnea, and diaphoresis that responded dramatically to Thorazine, but not to conventional measures.

OBJECTIVE To describe the best practices for management of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) after vaginal delivery at its initial stage by anesthesiologists. METHODS Medline, the Cochrane Library, and international guidelines have been exhaustively analyzed, graded, and discussed by the members of the

Neurologic deficits and medical complications are common sequelae after intracranial hemorrhage. Among the medical complications, sympathetic storming is relatively rare. We describe a case of a patient with an acute right basal ganglia hemorrhage. During the patient's hospital course, he developed
