The cortisol response to surgical stress has been frequently studied, and recommendations developed for steroid replacement in adrenally insufficient patients. There are currently no guidelines, however, adrenal hormone during anaesthesia alone. objective of this study was characterize the normal general absence a procedure children.Prospective observational study.Thirty-seven children (aged 0.5-7 years) without known endocrine disease or cranial neoplasms undergoing outpatient magnetic...
Aim The aim of this study was to characterise patients with asthma admitted an Australian paediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Methods This a retrospective review university‐affiliated, 23‐bed, tertiary PICU between January 2000 and December 2011, subset pharmacotherapy biochemical data from July 2007 2011. Results A total 589 admissions (501 patients) over 12 years constituted 4.4% all admissions. Three died (0.6%). Non‐invasive ventilation (NIV) used in 104 (17.7%) admissions, 41 (7%)...
Abstract Objectives Intubation of critically ill children is an infrequent procedure, and associated with significant risk. We set out to describe intubations carried by the Children's Health Queensland Retrieval Service (CHQRS), intention identify areas for improvement in performance intubation retrieval setting. Methods Paediatric patients undergoing transport while intubated were identified, cases where occurred after arrival CHQRS team examined. Results Over study period January 2015...
We report a case of <i>Salmonella typhimurium</i> encephalopathy in 7-year-old girl. The patient presented with abrupt onset coma following brief history diarrhea, vomiting and fever. Despite aggressive appropriate management, she developed acute renal failure coagulopathy irreversible neurological compromise. No adequate alternative explanation was found for her disease. A summary published cases is postulated pathogenic mechanisms are discussed, which includes an endotoxin triggered...
