Heliox reduces respiratory system resistance in respiratory syncytial virus induced respiratory failure
INTRODUCTION Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lower respiratory tract disease is characterised by narrowing of the airways resulting in increased airway resistance, air-trapping and respiratory acidosis. These problems might be overcome using helium-oxygen gas mixture. However, the effect of mechanical ventilation with heliox in these patients is unclear. The objective of this prospective cros...
متن کاملFailure of Caffeine to Ameliorate Respiratory Syncytial Virus-Induced Apnea
Caffeine and other methylxanthines have been reported to be effective in preventing the need of invasive airway support in cases of respiratory virus-associated apnea. However, the reliability of the reported effect is not known. We report a case of RSV-induced apnea in an infant in which 10mg/kg of intravenous caffeine did not prevent the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation.
متن کاملBovine respiratory syncytial virus.
The current knowledge is reviewed in regards to the importance of bovine respiratory syncytial virus in the bovine respiratory disease complex. The epidemiology, clinical disease, pathologic findings, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of this viral disease are discussed.
متن کاملBovine respiratory syncytial virus.
Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) is a major cause of respiratory disease and a major contributor to the bovine respiratory disease (BRD) complex. BRSV infects the upper and lower respiratory tract and is shed in nasal secretions. The close relatedness of BRSV to human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) has allowed researchers to use BRSV and HRSV to elucidate the mechanisms by which th...
متن کاملRespiratory syncytial virus vaccines.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most important cause of viral lower respiratory tract illness (LRI) in infants and children worldwide and causes significant LRI in the elderly and in immunocompromised patients. The goal of RSV vaccination is to prevent serious RSV-associated LRI. There are several obstacles to the development of successful RSV vaccines, including the need to immunize v...
