Abstract Background We successfully treated a case of acute type A aortic dissection in patient with inferior wall infarction as well severe circulatory and respiratory disorders. Case presentation 69-year-old woman was diagnosed dissection. She received emergency partial arch replacement coronary artery bypass grafting. After the cardiopulmonary bypass, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECM...

We aim to present the case of a 5-week-old girl with severe respiratory failure placed on veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) that was then switched to veno-arterial ECMO. She required up to 60 units/kg/hr of heparin to keep her heparin level within the target range at .3-.7 units/mL. During the ECMO course, substantial thrombus formation was observed within the venous site o...

UNLABELLED Abstract PURPOSE several therapeutic options are used in emergency situations, when heart and/or lung functions acutely fail. Because of the poor results of conventional treatments, the use of an extra-corporeal life support (ECLS) systems able to completely assume the heart and lung functions in emergency situations is becoming a viable alternative. We have developed a unique ECLS...

Abstract Background and Aims Acute kidney injury due to sepsis is the most common cause of AKI in critical care settings. Different modalities renal replacement therapies (RRT) have been used manage this condition including Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) sustained low efficiency dialysis (SLED). The aim work was compare outcome SLED CRRT form continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltratio...

BACKGROUND Levetiracetam is an antiepileptic drug frequently used in critically ill patients. Levetiracetam is primarily eliminated as a parent compound via glomerular filtration and requires dose adjustment in renal insufficiency, but the literature on patients receiving continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) is scant. CASE REPORT We report the levetiracetam pharmacokinetic profile of a ...

Objective: To analyse the diagnostic value of multi-slice spiral CT and magnetic resonance imaging in treatment of Hepatic Veno-Occlusive Disease (HVOD). Methods: 30 cases of hepatic veno-occlusive disease treated in our hospital from January 12, 2015 to January 12, 2016 were selected as the objects and all patients were treated with multi-slice spiral CT and magnetic resonance imaging. Results...
