Effect of frusemide on pulmonary blood volume.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intracardiac frusemide given to seven patients recovering from high-altitude pulmonary oedema caused a significant reduction in the pulmonary blood volume before the onset of diuresis. This supports the suggestion that the mobilization of fluid from the pulmonary circuit is responsible for the relief of symptoms in some patients with pulmonary oedema even when a diuresis does not occur.

Pulmonary function changes after nebulised and intravenous frusemide in ventilated premature infants.
AIMS To compare the effects of a single dose of frusemide administered either intravenously or by nebulisation on pulmonary mechanics in premature infants with evolving chronic lung disease. METHODS The effect of frusemide on pulmonary mechanics was studied at a median postnatal age of 23 (range 14-52) days in 19 premature infants at 24 to 30 weeks gestational age, who had been dependent on m...
متن کاملInhaled frusemide and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in children with asthma.
BACKGROUND Nebulised frusemide has been shown to be protective against bronchoconstricting stimuli in adult asthmatic subjects and against cold air challenge in children. Animal studies suggest that inhaled frusemide may be more effective in the young. METHODS A double blind placebo, controlled, crossover study on the effect on exercise of pretreatment with frusemide (20 mg) from a metered do...
متن کاملPlasma and tissue kallikrein-kinin systems during acute administration of frusemide in normotensive and hypertensive humans.
1. This study aims to further elucidate the role of the tissue and plasma kallikrein-kinin systems in blood pressure, electrolyte and volume homoeostasis. Components thereof and of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system were measured in conjunction with frusemide administration, in normotensive subjects and in patients with primary hypertension. 2. Frusemide increased plasma pre-kallikrein, a...
متن کاملInhaled frusemide and exercise induced asthma: evidence of a role for inhibitory prostanoids.
BACKGROUND Inhaled frusemide protects subjects with asthma against a wide range of bronchoconstrictor challenges, including allergen, exercise and inhaled sodium metabisulphite. An investigation was designed to determine whether this protection is related to the production of inhibitory prostaglandins, such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), by studying the effect of the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indom...
