Evaluation of saliva as a biochemical indicator for electrolyte estimation in sickle cell anaemic patients
Background: Sickle cell anaemia, a type of haemoglobinopathy is associated with biochemical abnormalities such as imbalance of electrolytes. Aim: To determine and evaluate saliva as a biochemical indicator for electrolyte estimation in sickle cell anaemic patients. Materials and methods: 30 children in the age group of 4-12 years were split into two equal groups: sickle cell anaemia group and c...
متن کاملTiming of opioid administration as a quality indicator for pain crises in sickle cell disease.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Time to opioid administration (TTO) has been suggested as a quality of care measure for sickle cell disease patients with vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC). We sought to determine whether TTO was associated with outcomes of emergency department (ED) visits for VOC. METHODS We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study of ED visits for VOC. The primary outcome was ...
متن کاملCreatine kinase activity in sickle cell disease.
Creatine kinase activity was measured in 28 patients in the steady state of sickle cell disease and ranged from 4-45 IU/l, comparable with that found in healthy adult caucasians. Creatine kinase activity was also measured in 14 patients admitted consecutively for the treatment of vaso-occlusive sickle cell crises. Creatine kinase activity remained within the normal range in eight of these 14 pa...
متن کاملManagement of acute painful crises in sickle cell disease.
Pain is a common mode of manifestation of sickle cell disease (SCD) but there is limited information on pain management in this disorder. This study examines the use of opioids and non-opioid analgesia in the management of painful crisis in adult SCD patients; the routine use of antimalarials and antibiotics as adjunct therapy was also examined. A total of 87% of the patients had had a form of ...
متن کاملNocturnal oxygen saturation and painful sickle cell crises in children.
The pathogenesis of acute painful crisis in children with sickle cell disease is poorly understood; suggested risk factors include sickle cell type, severity of anemia, fetal hemoglobin concentration, and hypoxemia from upper airway obstruction. In a cohort study of 95 patients the relationship between clinical, laboratory, and sleep study data and frequency of painful crisis was investigated. ...
