this case report describes the anesthetic management and ventilation technique in the surgical treatmentof traumatic diaphragmatic hernia in a dog. a 5-month-old 8-kg female terrier with a history of car accidentwas presented for femoral fracture repair. before anesthetic induction, marked tachypnea and dyspnea werenoted. diaphragmatic hernia was diagnosed based upon radiographic and ultrasonog...

The clinical course of pneumothorax and its allied conditions was studied in 34 newborn infants who presented over a 2 1/2-year period. We found an overall incidence of 3/1000 live births. 11 term infants without obvious pulmonary pathology presented early (9 within minutes of birth); 6 of these had aspirated meconium or blood. The remaining 23 were preterm infants with hyaline membrane disease...

The treatment of selected respiratory problems in newbom infants by intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) combined with naso-tracheal intubation is now well established as a routine procedure in Aberdeen, and it would be unfortunate if ill-founded fears prevented the wider use of this valuable technique. The method we use has been recorded elsewhere (Reid and Tunstall, 1966), but we...

INTRODUCTION Bronchospasm during general anaesthesia can present in isolation or as a component of a more serious underlying pathology such as anaphylaxis. It is characterised by prolonged expiration, wheeze and increased peak airway pressures during Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (IPPV). Untreated it can cause hypoxia, hypotension and increased morbidity and mortality. Suspected br...

Fifty consecutive neonates with respiratory distress persisting beyond 6 h of age were studied during a 18 month period (total deliveries 2000/y). Twenty two neonates were managed with oxygen hood with increasing oxygen concentration, 28 with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) ventilation using a nasal cannula. Of these babies on CPAP, 10 were shifted to intermittent positive pressure v...

INTRODUCTION The role of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation delivered through a face mask in patients with flail chest is uncertain. We conducted a prospective, randomised study of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) given via a face mask to spontaneously breathing patients compared with intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) with endotracheal intubation (ETI) in 52 pa...

background : the cause of death is difficult to interpret in a road-traffic accident (rta) victim, because multiple injuries make it difficult to decide on the most fatal lesion, particularly when death is delayed by prompt medical intervention; and secondary haemorrhage, renal failure, fat embolism, systemic infections, myocardial or cerebral infarction – all comes under the potential differen...

The adjuvanticity of a sulfolipopolysaccharide (SLP) incorporated into a squalane-in-water emulsion (SLP/S/W) was compared with that of a mineral oil-in-water (O/W) adjuvant currently used in commercial porcine vaccines. Groups of pigs were immunized twice with vaccines comprising either inactivated influenza virus (iFlu3 containing strains A/Swine, MRC-11 and X-79), inactivated pseudorabies vi...
