Obstructive Shock

چکیده
Obstructive shock is a less common, but important cause of shock in critically ill infants and children. It is caused by mechanical obstruction of blood flow to and/or from the heart and causes can include a tension pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade, pulmonary embolus, or cardiac defects resulting in left-sided outflow tract obstruction. Each of these can result in similar physiology with poor perfusion and oxygen delivery to the body, though the diagnosis and treatment are unique to each process and thus described individually.

Training in echocardiography is essential for an intensivist. We present a rapidly fatal case of obstructive shock where a vigilant intensivist could diagnose left atrial mass obstructing the mitral inflow as the etiology of shock.
متن کاملWt-1 Expression Linked to Nitric Oxide Availability during Neonatal Obstructive Nephropathy
The wt-1 gene encodes a zinc finger DNA-binding protein that acts as a transcriptional activator or repressor depending on the cellular or chromosomal context. The wt-1 regulates the expression of a large number of genes that have a critical role in kidney development. Congenital obstructive nephropathy disrupts normal renal development and causes chronic progressive interstitial fibrosis, whic...

OBJECTIVE Heat shock proteins assist cellular protein folding and are required for the normal activity of steroid receptors. In this study we assessed nuclear HSP90 and HSP70 proteins and mRNA levels in cells isolated from induced sputum of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients treated for 4 weeks with formoterol (F) or formoterol+budesonide (F/ICS). METHODS Nuclear heat shock protei...

In rats with 2-week obstructive jaundice the sensitivity to endotoxin was studied and the effect of a single dose of endotoxin on histological development in the kidney, liver and spleen was also investigated. We were tested the effect on accumulation and distribution within organs, of fibrinogen labelled with radioactive iodine I 125. We showed an increased sensitivity to endotoxin in obstruct...
متن کاملAccuracy of Rapid Ultrasound in Shock (RUSH) Exam for Diagnosis of Shock in Critically Ill Patients
BACKGROUND Rapid ultrasound in shock (RUSH) is the most recent emergency ultrasound protocol, designed to help clinicians better recognize distinctive shock etiologies in a shorter time frame. OBJECTIVES In this study, we evaluated the accuracy of the RUSH protocol, performed by an emergency physician or radiologist, in predicting the type of shock in critical patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS...
