Acute Systemic Anaphylaxis Anaphylaxis is a systemic allergic reaction involving the respiratory and/or the cardiovascular system; it has a rapid onset with the possibility of causing death. However‚ less severe reaction may be also defined as “anaphylaxis” if there is a high index of suspicion for allergic reaction in the setting of previously diagnosed allergy (Sanchez et al. 1999; Simons et al. 2007; Tang and Liew‚ 2008). It was observed by Simons (2006) that anaphylaxis is a disease of modern

factors are recorded in the consensus paper from the WSACS (1). However‚ this long list is difficult to apply by the critical care nurse at the bedside. More than one study has identified the high BMI‚ abdominal surgery‚ liver dysfunction/ ascites‚ hypotension/vasoactive therapy‚ respiratory failure and excessive fluid balance as risk factors of IAH in the mixed ICU populations. However‚ the precise prediction of IAH development in the mixed ICU populations remains difficult. Because of the tremendous

Angiotensin-2 type-1 receptor (AT1R) plays a vital role in the controlling of the blood pressure and blood volume in the cardio vascular system. If we knockout AT1R hypotension will occurs due to the increased levels of the angiotensin-1. 7. EDTA is type of chelating agent. EDTA blocks the activity of the ACE1.

Inhaled Flolan Vs Inhaled Nitric Oxide Which one is a better option? Abstract: Nowadays vasodilators are administered directly via the airway to treat pulmonary hypertension and to recover pulmonary gaseous exchange. Many scientific studies focus on this new therapeutic concept which was initiated by using exogenous nitric oxide (NO) gas. It selectively dilates pulmonary vessels without associated systemic vasodilation. But in recent years alternatives of NO were proposed due to NO’s potential
