Undiagnosed cardiomyopathy in a neonate: significance of low oxygen saturation during anaesthesia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case study is described of a 7-day-old full term baby with bilateral congenital cataracts who underwent surgical removal of both cataracts 2 days apart. Problems with oxygen saturation during and after the first anaesthetic prompted further investigation that revealed a non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The significance and possible causes of low oxygen saturation in a previously healthy neonate during anaesthesia are discussed. The likely diagnosis of Sengers syndrome, and the evaluation of asymptomatic babies with cardiac pathology are discussed.

Background & Aim: Preterm infants born at less than 34 weeks postconceptional age are not as neurologically mature as their term counterparts and thus have difficulty coordinating sucking, swallowing and breathing. As a result, they are traditionally gavage fed until they are able to oral feed successfully. The aim of study was to evaluate comparative effect of orogastric and breast feeding...

Ventilation and arterial oxygen saturation have been measured in 18 patients during anaesthesia with ether or halothane carried in air. All patients were ventilated artificially with a Jefferson ventilator at a frequency of 16 breaths per minute and variable tidal volume. Ventilation has been expressed as a percentage of Radford's standard, Nunn's standard and the patient's pre-operative restin...

Background and Objective: The results of previous studies show the neonate position is effective in improving oxygenation . Therefore, this study aimed to compare the prone and supine positions on oxygen saturation in preterm infants who were weaned from mechanical ventilation. Materials and Methods: This clinical trial carried out on 40 preterm infants who were weaned from mechan...
متن کاملSedation during spinal anaesthesia: a case for the routine administration of oxygen.
We have studied the effect of sedation with midazolam on arterial oxygen saturation during spinal anaesthesia in two groups of patients: one group received supplementary oxygen, the other group breathed room air. A significant reduction in oxygen saturation was observed in patients not receiving supplementary oxygen; six of 15 patients in this group developed hypoxaemia or severe hypoxaemia whi...
