متن کاملSevere refractory hypoxemia following a gunshot injury.
We describe the case of a 57-year-old man with severe refractory hypoxemia, despite receiving ventilation therapy with 100% oxygen, following a gunshot wound to his left chest. A limited CT scan of the chest with contrast raised the suspicion of an arteriovenous (AV) fistula. Contrast-enhanced transthoracic echocardiography confirmed the presence of a pulmonary AV fistula. Traumatic pulmonary A...
متن کاملAn unusual cause of refractory hypoxemia in cirrhosis.
Pulmonary gas exchange abnormalities and refractory hypoxemia cause myriad difficulties in patients with chronic liver disease. In addition to intrinsic cardiopulmonary diseases and hepatopulmonary syndrome, some unusual pathophysiological mechanisms in patients with portosystemic collaterals might contribute to hypoxemia. We report the clinical presentation of an unusual portosystemic anatomic...
متن کاملTherapies for refractory hypoxemia in acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common and severe form of acute lung injury, resulting from both direct (eg, pneumonia) and indirect (eg, sepsis) pulmonary insults. It is a common cause of admission to the intensive care unit due to hypoxemic respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation, and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In some patients, ARDS l...
متن کامل[Strategies against refractory hypoxemia in acute respiratory distress syndrome].
Refractory hypoxemia is an extremely complex condition with a high morbidity-mortality rate. This clinical situation represents an advanced process encompassed within the so-called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), defined by the American-European Conference of 1994 with the purpose of reaching consensus on a series of homogeneous criteria. Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is defined o...
