Oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production during liquid ventilation
(Elsevier, 1993-04)
Liquid ventilation with perfluorocarbon (PFCV) has advantages over conventional gas ventilation (GV) in premature and lung-injured newborn animals. Indirect calorimetric measurement of both oxygen consumption (VO2) and ...
Evaluation of the right atrial venous oxygen saturation as a physiologic monitor in a neonatal model
(Elsevier, 1993-07)
Pulmonary artery (PA) mixed venous saturation (SO2) has become a crucial monitor in the adult intensive care unit, but is not used in neonates because of the difficulty in PA catheterization. We evaluated the possibility ...
Surgical treatment of thyrotoxicosis in children and adolescents
(Elsevier, 1977-12)
Forty-one children and adolescents had thyroidectomies for Grave's disease during an 8 yr period. Twenty patients became euthyroid within a short period after treatment with antithyroid drugs and had operations with minimal ...
Extracellular fluid and total body water changes in neonates undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
(Elsevier, 1992-08)
After being placed on extracorporeal life support (ECLS), newborn patients typically weight 5% to 30% more than their birthweight. Recovery and eventual decannulation from ECLS is associated with a return to baseline weight ...
Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for pediatric trauma: experience with five cases
(Springer-Verlag, 1990-08)
Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) was used to treat five pediatric trauma patients (ages 1 to 17 years) with respiratory failure unresponsive to conventional mechanical ventilation. Diagnoses in these patients that resulted ...
Severe myocardial dysfunction during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
(Elsevier, 1992-01)
Of the 102 neonates with respiratory fallure supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at this institution between 1984 and 1987, 8 patients developed severe myocardial dysfunction that was noted shortly ...
Effect of extracorporeal life support on survival when applied to all patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia
(Elsevier, 1994-08)
Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has been used for neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and respiratory failure at the authors' hospital since June 1981. In 1988, criteria for inclusion in ECLS were broadened ...
