Bumetanide in heart failure in infancy.
The effect of bumetanide in infants with congenital heart disease presenting with cardiac failure was studied. The study was divided into acute (3 days) and long-term (mean 10.5 weeks) cases. A total of 12 male infants was included in the acute study and 13 cases were evaluated in the long-term study. The dose used in the acute study (0.015 mg/kg) was suboptimal; notwithstanding it was found to...
متن کاملHome subcutaneous infusion of furosemide in advanced decompensated heart failure.
We read with interest the scientific letter titled ‘‘Subcutaneous Infusion of Furosemide Administered by Elastomeric Pumps for Decompensated Heart Failure Treatment: Initial Experience’’ by Zatarain-Nicolás et al. In our hospital palliative care department, we have experience in the administration of subcutaneous palliative treatment to terminally ill patients, including those with heart failur...
متن کاملNovelty of continuous intravenous infusion of bumetanide in severe congestive heart failure associated with renal failure
This study describes efficacy of continuous infusion of bumetanide in severe congestive heart failure (CHF) associated with severe renal failure. Renal failure progresses as CHF advances. Renin-angiotensin inhibitor drugs consisting of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker are main stay of therapy in CHF. These drugs aggravate renal failure, decrease urine out...
متن کاملEffectiveness of Bumetanide Infusion in Treatment of Generalized Edema and Congestive Heart Failure
Generalized edema (anasarca) is common in nephrotic syndrome which rarely produces shortness of breath. Increased shortness of breath associated with rapid weight gain and generalized edema signify congestive heart failure (CHF). Loop diuretics consisting of furosemide (Lasix®), bumetanide (Bumex®), torsemide (Demadex®) or ethacrynic acid (Edecrin) are effective diuretics to treat anasarca. How...
متن کاملBrain natriuretic peptide enhances renal actions of furosemide and suppresses furosemide-induced aldosterone activation in experimental heart failure.
BACKGROUND The renal actions of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in congestive heart failure (CHF) are associated with increased diuresis and natriuresis, preserved glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and lack of activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). In contrast, diuretic-induced natriuresis may be associated with reduced GFR and RAAS activation. The objective of this stud...
