Mechanisms Of Alveolar Protein Clearance In The Intact Lung

Transport of protein across the alveolar epithelial barrier is a critical process in recovery from pulmonary edema and is also important in maintaining the alveolar milieu in the normal healthy lung. Various mechanisms have been proposed for clearing…

Dopexamine Hydrochloride In Septic Shock

Objective: To test whether dopexamine hydrochloride, by its beta(2)-adrenoceptor and dopaminergic 1 (DA(1)) and dopaminergic 2 (DA(2)) agonistic properties, can improve oxygen consumption (V over dot O-2) in hyperdynamic patients with septic shock.…

Prostacyclin In Septic Shock

Objective: Investigation of the hypothesis that the infusion of 10 ng/kg/min prostacyclin (epoprostenol) (PGI(2)) improves O-2 uptake in patients with hyperdynamic septic shock. Design: Prospective, single cohort design. Setting: ICU, university…

Hypertonic Saline In Stabilized Hyperdynamic Sepsis

Hypertonic saline with or without colloidal solution has been successfully used for treating hemorrhagic shock in animal experiments and clinical studies. Due to its various effects at systemic, organ, and microcirculatory levels, the substance…

Neuromuscular Blocking Agents Use And Controversy In The Hospital Setting

Neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) play an important role in the management of a large number of hospital patients. The pharmacology of NMBAs is well understood, but the use of these agents can be controversial. NMBAs are common in surgical…

Therapeutic Strategies To Hasten The Resolution Of Pulmonary Edema

Lung epithelial fluid transport and the resolution of pulmonary edema

The discovery of mechanisms that regulate salt and water transport by the alveolar and distal airway epithelium of the lung has generated new insights into the regulation of lung fluid balance under both normal and pathological conditions. There is…

THROMBOCYTOPENIA IN INTENSIVE-CARE PATIENTS - A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF RISK-FACTORS IN 314 PATIENTS

OBJECTIVE: To define the incidence and severity of thrombocytopenia in a mixed medical-surgical population of critically ill patients and to examine factors that may be related to the development of thrombocytopenia. DESIGN: Retrospective chart…

Lung edema clearance: 20 years of progress - Invited review: Alveolar edema fluid clearance in the injured lung

Resolution of pulmonary edema involved active transepithelial sodium transport. Although several of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved are relatively well understood, it is only recently that the regulation of these mechanisms in injured…

Protective effect of endogenous beta-adrenergic tone on lung fluid balance in acute bacterial pneumonia in mice

Some investigators have reported that endogenous beta-adrenoceptor tone can provide protection against acute lung injury. Therefore, we tested the effects of beta-adrenoceptor inhibition in mice with acute Escherichia coli pneumonia. Mice were…
