Cardiopulmonary recirculation during hemodialysis

Vasopressin secretion by hypertonic saline infusion during hemodialysis: effect of cardiopulmonary recirculation.

BACKGROUND Intradialytic hypotension is the most common and severe acute complication of hemodialysis therapy. In our previous study, infusion of 20 mL of 10% saline into the venous line of a dialyzer increased blood pressure during dialysis hypotension by stimulating arginine vasopressin (AVP) secretion, independent of its effect on plasma volume (PV). This study examines the mechanism by whic...

Arteriovenous Fistula Recirculation in Hemodialysis

Recently, with great interest we read the review article by Zeraati et al. entitled “A review article: access recirculation among end stage renal disease patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis” in your most valuable journal (1). The author summarized some of observations about causes and clinical significance of arteriovenous (AV) fistula recirculation, techniques for accurate assessment ...

Capnography during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Use of waveform capnography during cardiac arrest was recomended in the 2010 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary esuscitation (CPR) Science with Treatment Recommendations.1 primary benefit includes confirmation that a tracheal tube (or ther airway device) has been placed correctly and is providing entilation of the lungs.2 Capnography is considerably more relible than either clinical ass...

Cardiopulmonary Collapse during Labour

Cardiopulmonary collapse during labour is a catastrophic event caused by various medical, surgical and obstetrical conditions. It is an emergency that threatens the life of the mother and her unborn child. We present a case of a pregnant woman who suffered from preeclampsia and underwent induction of labour. Severe lung edema occurred early in labour that caused cardiopulmonary collapse. Advanc...
