چکیده
We studied a 14-year-old girl who suffered fractures of her mandible and tegmen following a fall from a balance beam. Thirteen days after hospitalization, she developed severe, protracted, recurrent episodes of hyperventila. lion; subsequently, she suffered posthyperventilation apnea, which at times was prolonged and associated with severe hypoxemia with an arterial oxygen pressure as low as 25 mm Hg. The patient was treated with added dead space and chiorpromazine hydrochloride (Thora. zine). Postulated mechanisms for her disorder are discussed. The importance of close clinical and laboratory observation in similar cases is stressed.

Cognitive impairment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and associated hypoxemia.
Twenty-six patients with sleep apnea had neuropsychologic testing prior to nocturnal sleep study in a sleep disorders clinic. The cognitive functioning of patients who had sleep apnea with associated hypoxemia was compared to nonhypoxemic patients with sleep apnea. The patients who had sleep apnea with hypoxemia had more severe cognitive impairment than those with sleep apnea without hypoxemia....
متن کاملGenetic associations with hypoxemia and pulmonary arterial pressure in COPD.
BACKGROUND Hypoxemia, hypercarbia, and pulmonary arterial hypertension are known complications of advanced COPD. We sought to identify genetic polymorphisms associated with these traits in a population of patients with severe COPD from the National Emphysema Treatment Trial (NETT). METHODS In 389 participants from the NETT Genetics Ancillary Study, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were ...

We have now performed over 4,500 examinations with the fiberoptic bronchoscope using the oral route of intubation and have encountered no episodes of serious laryngospasm.2 More importantly, we premedicate a...
متن کاملPredictors and Outcome of Hypoxemia in Severely Malnourished Children under Five with Pneumonia: A Case Control Design
BACKGROUND There is lack of information in the medical literature on predictors of hypoxemia in severely malnourished children with pneumonia, although hypoxemia is common and is often associated with fatal outcome in this population. We explored the predictors of hypoxemia in under-five children who were hospitalized for the management of pneumonia and severe acute malnutrition (SAM). METHOD...
متن کاملHepatopulmonary syndrome-discussion of cardiopulmonary parameters.
We report a 70-year-old man with hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) in C liver cirrhosis. Hypoxemia worsened markedly, especially on exertion, while the hepatic function was clinically stable. Contrast echocardiography, 99mTc macroaggregated albumin (99mTcMAA) lung scan, and pulmonary angiography were performed. The findings suggested the presence of both intrapulmonary vascular dilatation and subs...
