Which clinical signs and symptoms predict hypoxemia in acute childhood asthma?

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To find the clinical signs that are the best predictors of hypoxemia (SpO2 =92%) in acute asthma in children. METHODS Color of skin, dyspnea (by single breath counting), alertness, respiratory rate, presence of audible wheeze, wheezing on auscultation, accessory muscle use, nasal flaring,

Nonobstetric conditions causing hypoxia during pregnancy: asthma and epilepsy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Nonobstetric medical emergencies of hypoxia may be difficult to recognize in pregnant patients whose normal physiologic condition is altered by the pregnant state. Keys to early recognition of hypoxia in pregnancy may result in appropriate medical interventions for treatment of asthma and seizures

Chronic stable asthma and the normal arterial pressure of carbon dioxide in hypoxia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Arterial blood-gas tensions, pH, and peak expiratory flow rate were measured in 29 patients with chronic asthma in a stable state. The hypoxia in these patients was found to be comparable with the hypoxia seen in normal subjects at high altitude in its effects on arterial pressure of carbon dioxide

Enhancement of hypoxemia by right-to-left atrial shunting in severe asthma.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report two cases of severe hypoxemia due to right-to-left shunt in acute asthmatic patients. During acute asthma, the transmural right atrial pressure can be higher than left atrial pressure during inspiration and then induce a right-to-left shunt through inter-atrial communication leading to

Persistent hypoxemia after an asthma attack.

Only registered users can translate articles

The presence of an unknown intracardiac shunt due to a patent foramen ovale may be an unusual cause of hypoxemia. We report the case of a patient who presented persistent hypoxemia after an adequate treatment for a severe asthma attack requiring intensive care unit admission. The patient underwent a

Decreased ventilation response to hypoxia in children with asthma.

Only registered users can translate articles

We measured the ventilation and inspiratory muscle activity responses to hypoxia and hypercapnia in 18 children with asthma. Ventilation was less efficient in the asthmatic children in that more inspiratory muscle activity per liter of ventilation was required than in normal children. Asthmatic and

Clinical features to predict hypoxia and/or hypercapnia in acute asthma attacks.

Only registered users can translate articles

Arterial blood gas data were correlated with clinical variables including patients' perception of dyspnea and spirometry in 79 episodes of acute asthma attacks. Among several variables that showed univariate significance with severity, only subjective degree of dyspnea rated on a modified Borg scale

The respiratory neuromuscular response to hypoxia, hypercapnia, and obstruction to airflow in asthma.

Only registered users can translate articles

In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the neuromuscular response to an acute increase in airflow produced by external flow resistive loads (FRL) is impaired. The present study compared the response to FRL of 15 subjects with airway obstruction due to asthma and that of 15 normal subjects.

High-frequency jet ventilation using the Arndt bronchial blocker for refractory hypoxemia during one-lung ventilation in a myasthenic patient with asthma.

Only registered users can translate articles

A novel method in the management of refractory severe hypoxemia during one-lung ventilation (OLV) in a patient who presented with myasthenia gravis, asthma, a symptomatic mediastinal mass, hiatal hernia, and a moderate pericardial effusion is presented. The patient was scheduled for excision of a

[Expression and significance of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in lung tissues of obesity-asthma rat].

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the expression level of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in the rat model of diet-induced obesity and asthma. METHODS Forty male specific pathogen-free SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal body mass control group (group A), asthmatic rats with normal body

Exposure to intermittent hypoxia inhibits allergic airway inflammation in a murine model of asthma.

Only registered users can translate articles

Obesity increases the severity of asthma, and patients with severe asthma are often complicated with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), a concomitant disease of obesity. We investigated whether intermittent hypoxia (IH), which is a physiological feature of OSAS, modifies allergic

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α inhibition modulates airway hyperresponsiveness and nitric oxide levels in a BALB/c mouse model of asthma.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α is a master regulator of inflammation and is upregulated in alveolar macrophages and lung parenchyma in asthma. HIF-1α regulates select pathways in allergic inflammation, and thus may drive particular asthma phenotypes. This work examines the role of pharmacologic

Clinical scoring does not accurately assess hypoxemia in pediatric asthma patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

Management of acute asthma in the pediatric population is based almost entirely on clinical evidence of severity. Although pulmonary function testing has been advocated to improve evaluation, it is difficult in the pediatric patient and not routinely practiced. A clinical scoring system has been

Elevated incidence of suicide in people living at altitude, smokers and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma: possible role of hypoxia causing decreased serotonin synthesis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Recent research indicates that suicide rates are elevated in those living at higher altitudes in both the United States and South Korea. A possible mechanism that was proposed is metabolic stress associated with hypoxia. This commentary discusses these results, and also the association between

Hypoxia response in asthma: differential modulation on inflammation and epithelial injury.

Only registered users can translate articles

Oxygen-sensing prolyl-hydroxylase (PHD)-2 negatively regulates hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)1-α and suppresses the hypoxic response. Hypoxia signaling is thought to be proinflammatory but also attenuates cellular injury and apoptosis. Although increased hypoxic response has been noted in asthma,
