BACKGROUND
There is lack of information in the medical literature on predictors of hypoxemia in severely malnourished children with pneumonia, although hypoxemia is common and is often associated with fatal outcome in this population. We explored the predictors of hypoxemia in under-five children
A young, male presented to the emergency department with respiratory signs and symptoms along with shock and leucopenia. The suspected diagnosis of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) necrotizing pneumonia was confirmed later radiographically and microbiologically. This entity is
White laboratory rats, weighted 100-160 g, with acute pneumonia, inhale (from 4-th to 8-th days of developing the disease) liposomes. It was shown, that introduction of liposomes promoted normalization of external breath, acid-base state of blood, increased diffusion ability of lung for O2 and
OBJECTIVE
We sought to determine if preterm labor is associated with the degree of maternal hypoxia in pregnant women with community-acquired pneumonia but no other maternal diseases.
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all antepartum patients admitted with a diagnosis of
Usually, mortality due to mild community-acquired pneumonias (CAP) (Pneumonia severity index (PSI) classes I-III) is low (<3%), but the appearance of hypoxemia significantly increases mortality. Our aim was to determine the clinical parameters associated with risk factors of developing hypoxemia in
OBJECTIVE
To assess the clinical usefulness of the head nodding sign (HN) in children with pneumonia.
METHODS
Cross-sectional study that included 62 children aged 2-59 months. Hypoxemia was defined as arterial oxygen saturation <94% measured by pulse oximetry. HN was examined with regard to three
BACKGROUND
Hypoxemia is a common and potentially lethal complication of acute respiratory infection in children under-five, particularly among those with severe disease.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of hypoxemia in under-five Sudanese children with
BACKGROUND
Haemophilus species bacteria (HSB) are known pathogens responsible for early pneumonia in intubated trauma patients. The primary goal of this study was to examine the incidence and extent of hypoxemia in intubated trauma patients who develop early ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)
OBJECTIVE
To compare the performance of respiratory rate and other clinical signs against pulse oximetry for predicting hypoxia in children with Severe pneumonia/Very severe disease as per Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illness (IMNCI) classification.
METHODS
Cross-sectional
We report a case of BOOP with severe hypoxemia and orthodeoxia. Chest X-ray showed bilateral infiltrative pneumonia and computed tomography scan revealed consolidations on lower lobes. Diagnosis of right-to-left shunt was made on the increase of alveolar-arterial oxygen difference under FIO2 100%,
BACKGROUND
Hypoxemia is a grave sequel of pneumonia, and an important predictor of a fatal outcome. Pneumonia in the neonatal period is often associated with lack of breast feeding. However, there is no published report on the impact of the cessation of breast feeding in the neonatal period on the
Even though hypoxia is a major risk factor for death in children with acute respiratory infection in developing countries, oxygen is not part of first line treatment. Because oxygen is not readily available in developing countries it tends to be given to the most seriously ill children, whose
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disorder with high morbidity in adults. OSA damages multiple organs and tissues, including the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, the metabolism system, the lungs, liver and heart. OSA-induced damage is earliest and greatest to the pulmonary tissue. The
OBJECTIVE
to improve understanding of the novel influenza A (H1N1) virus infection complicated with pneumonia.
METHODS
clinical presentations, radiological data, laboratory data and treatments of 2 patients with pneumonia caused by the novel influenza A (H1N1) virus were retrospectively
The differential diagnosis of newly developed pulmonary infiltrate in CXR film of immunocompromised host including infection, neoplasm, pulmonary edema, pulmonary hemorrhage, cytotoxic drug induced pneumonitis, radiation pneumonitis and transfusion induced pneumonitis. If clinical course changed
