Renal failure and postoperative respiratory failure: recurarization?
The occurrence of acute postoperative respiratory failure in three patients with renal failure is presented. The most likely cause was the return of muscle paralysis after the apparent antagonism of tubocurarine by neostigmine (recurarization). In addition to reducing the dose of tubocurarine, the authors recommend that pyridostigmine be used as an antagonist instead of neostigmine because the ...
متن کاملClinical prediction of postoperative respiratory failure.
1247 June 2013 C LINICAL research in Anesthesiology increasingly focuses on prediction of myriad perioperative complications. This research has been driven by development of databases that capture various measures of patient health, anesthetic care, surgical procedure, and outcomes. One of the strengths of this approach is that it allows analysis of outcomes that were previously understudied du...
متن کاملPostoperative respiratory failure secondary to Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia.
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) occurs frequently in individuals infected with the HIV virus. Malignancy, immunosuppressive drugs, and congenital immune deficiency may be associated with PCP. We describe a patient with stage 1 testicular carcinoma who developed hypoxemic respiratory failure two days after retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. Pneumocystis carinii organisms were demonstrat...
متن کاملMotor neurone disease presenting as postoperative respiratory failure.
We present the case of a woman who developed respiratory failure in the postoperative period secondary to previously unsuspected motor neurone disease. This case highlights the difficulty in detecting subtle neuromuscular weakness during anaesthetic pre-assessment.
متن کاملAn Unusual Suspect Causing Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure
Introduction: Antisynthetase syndrome (ASS) is characterized by the presence of anti-Jo-1 antibodies in conjunction with clinical findings of fever, polymyositis-dermatomyositis, and interstitial lung disease (ILD). Inflammatory myopathies carry a high risk of malignancy, but this association is less well outlined in ASS. We present the case of a patient with ASS who developed non-Hodgkin's lym...
