Carbon monoxide poisoning in a patient with carbon dioxide retention: a therapeutic challenge
We present the case of a 70 year-old man with carbon monoxide poisoning following a house fire. A significant smoking history and likely underlying chronic lung pathology complicated treatment, as due to symptomatic retention of carbon dioxide we were unable to use high-flow oxygen to facilitate the elimination of carbon monoxide. We suggest that patients with risk factors for obstructive lung ...
متن کاملEffect of Carbon Dioxide on Calcium and Phosphorus Retention
It is well known that the administration of acids or of potentially acid salts, such as ammonium chloride, to animals often leads to decalcification. Apparently several factors are involved, such as the age of the animal, the calcium intake, and the disturbance in the acid-base equilibrium. Burns (1) fed hydrochloric acid to rabbits and rats and found that it retarded growth, increased the wate...

متن کاملInhalation Lung Injury Associated with Humidifier Disinfectants in Adults
We recently established a novel disease entity presented as progressive respiratory failure associated with the inhalation of humidifier disinfectants. In April 2011, we encountered a series of peripartum patients with complaints of respiratory distress of unknown etiology, which was an uncommon phenomenon. Accordingly, we created a multidisciplinary team comprising intensivists, radiologists, ...
متن کاملHumidifier - associated paediatric Legionnaires ’ disease , Israel ,
We report a fatal case of community-acquired Legionnaires' disease in an infant aged under six months. Epidemiological and microbiological investigations suggested that a free-standing cold water humidifier using domestic tap water contaminated with Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1 served as a vehicle for infection. These findings were corroborated by sequence-based typing (SBT). Humidifier-a...
