Staphylococcic Pneumonia in Infants under the Age of Six Months.
D URING THE PAST DECADE, STAPHYLOcoccic infection has become a frequent cause of suppurative pneumonia in infants requiring hospitalization. Involvement of the lungs by this infection is seen during the first year, particularly in the first six months of life, more frequently than in later years, and carries a high mortality in the young patients. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains o...
متن کاملBidirectional cavopulmonary connection without additional pulmonary blood flow in patients below the age of 6 months.
OBJECTIVE The bidirectional cavopulmonary connection (BCPC) has shown excellent results as an intermediate step towards permanent palliation in functional single ventricle morphology. The optimal timing of the BCPC, though, remains unclear. This investigation focuses on results in a subgroup of patients under 6 months of age. METHODS Between 2001 and 2006, 124 patients received a BCPC followe...
متن کاملBidirectional cavopulmonary shunt with additional pulmonary blood flow.
There are some controversies regarding the usefulness of leaving additional pulmonary blood flow when establishing a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt. From April 2002 to September 2008, 13 patients (mean age, 24 +/- 16 months) underwent a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt procedure with fine adjustment of additional pulmonary blood flow, as an intermediate step before the Fontan operation. The...

متن کاملPulmonary blood flow after total cavopulmonary shunt.
The pattern of pulmonary blood flow was studied in three patients after a total cavopulmonary shunt procedure. Doppler studies showed a phasic pattern of flow which varied with the respiratory cycle. Pulmonary blood flow was increased with normal inspiration, and was much augmented by the Mueller manoeuvre. This suggests that flow was occurring when a negative intrathoracic pressure was generat...
