The cardiovascular effects of nitroglycerine (TNG) were studied in 30 patients requiring controlled hypotension for intracranial aneurysm surgery. In patients "resistant" to TNG (n = 9), sodium nitroprusside (SNP) was used to supplement the TNG. With TNG alone at a total dose of 31 mg and a mean hypotension duration of 28 min, mean arterial pressure (MAP) decreased by 43%, from 78.3 to 44.4 mm ...

Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Shenfu injection (SFI) for intradialytic hypotension (IDH). Methods. A systematic review of data sources published as of April 2014 was conducted. These included the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (2014 issue 4), Pubmed, Embase, CBM, CNKI, VIP, and Wangfang Data. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving SFI for treatmen...

Several techniques have been proposed to prevent hypotension in obstetric patients. Ephedrine and phenylephrine are individually used to prevent maternal hypotension; however, each has its own drawbacks. Some researchers have reported that the infusion of combined ephedrine and phenylephrine immediately after spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery reduces the incidence of maternal hypotension....

conclusions hepatitis a causes an acute infection. the patients usually recover after a few weeks or months. fulminant hepatitis can be observed in hav infection but chronic infection does not exist. extrahepatic complications and cardiac disorders are often reported in association with hepatitis c and b viruses, but they are very rare in hav infections. case presentation we present a 14-year-o...

Background: Post-induction hypotension frequently occurs and can lead to adverse outcomes. As target-controlled infusion (TCI) obviates the need calculate rate manually helps safer dosing with prompt titration of drug using complex pharmacokinetic models, use TCI may provide a better hemodynamic profile during anesthesia induction. This study aimed compare versus manual induction determine risk...

abstract radionuclide cisternography (rnc) is of potential value in pointing out the sites of cerebrospinal fluid (csf) leakage in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (sih). in the current report, we present two patients who underwent rnc for suspected csf leakage. both patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and rnc for evaluation. we describe a simple method to incr...
