Respiratory Depression Caused By Infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) results in electrolyte disturbances due to persistent vomiting. Though the significance of hyperventilation in metabolic acidosis is established, debate continues regarding hypoventilation in metabolic alkalosis. We present six cases of respiratory depression requiring ICU admission in infants with hypochloremic, hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis due to IHPS.

Surgery involved extramucosal pyloromyotomy, while nutritional therapy consisted of small and frequent meals only. Patients were monitored both clinically and with ultrasound.

متن کاملInduction of pyloric hypertrophy by pentagastrin. An animal model for infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.
Administration of pentagastrin in depot form to 20 pregnant bitches produced pyloric hypertrophy in about 28% and gastroduodenal ulceration in about 16% of their pups. The two lesions were not necessarily found in the same individuals. Histological appearances of the pylorus in affected pups closely resembled those of human infantile pyloric stenosis.

متن کاملInfantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in Greater Manchester.
An "unprecedented" rise in the incidence of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) was reported from the Central Region of Scotland in 1979. Examination of statistics from Greater Manchester showed a similar trend in some district health authorities but not others. Possible explanations are examined but future research is required. Hospital Activity Analysis can provide a useful tool fo...
متن کاملABO blood groups and infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis.
An association between blood group A and cancer of the stomach was first reported by Aird, Bentall, and Fraser Roberts (1953). Further associations between blood groups and gastrointestinal disorders have since been described (Clarke, 1964a). This paper reports an investigation into the ABO blood group distribution and salivary secretor status of patients with infantile hypertrophic pyloric ste...
