Normobaric Pulmonary Oxygen Toxicity
This study investigated the involvement of substances derived from arachidonic acid in the mechanism of endotoxin's protective action against pulmonary oxygen toxicity. Eighty-three percent of rats treated with a small dose of endotoxin (1 mgjkg) survived exposure to over 95% oxygen for 7 days. In contrast, all control rats exposed to the same oxygen concentration died within 3 days. When the e...
متن کاملPulmonary oxygen toxicity. A review of the evidence for acute and chronic oxygen toxicity in man.
During the last few years there has been growing concern that chronic pulmonary oxygen toxicity might result from the administration of high concentrations of oxygen with intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) during the management of respiratory failure. This concern was fostered by Nash, Blennerhassett and Pontoppidan (1967) who reported an association between the duration and conc...
متن کاملSuperoxide dismutase and pulmonary oxygen toxicity.
The production of superoxide (O2-) under hyperoxic conditions is markedly accentuated leading to the generation of potent oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyl radical (HO.), and peroxynitrite (ONOO-). Superoxide dismutase (SOD), by rapidly removing O2-, reduces the tissue concentration of O2- and prevents the production of HO. and ONOO-. Three forms of SOD exist in the lung: CuZn...
متن کاملPulmonary Oxygen Toxicity: Investigation and Mentoring
At sea level oxygen is toxic to man when breathed for more than twenty-four hours at a percentage greater than about forty percent. Pulmonary pathology is the first manifestation in subjects with previously normal lungs. In patients with pre-existing lung disease the results are often additive. There is, however, great variation in response from subject to subject and between patients. Queen's ...
متن کاملReversible Pulmonary Hypertension in an Infant Treated with Diazoxide
Background: Diazoxide is the main therapeutic agent for congenital hyperinsulinism. The drug is generally well tolerated; however, in this report severe adverse effects including heart failure (HF) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) in an infant are reported.Case report: A sixteen-day male infant with persistent hypoglycemia and with diagnosis of congenital hyperinsulinism underwent near total pan...
