Hypokalemic respiratory paralysis in Bartter’s syndrome

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2002
Life threatening hypokalemia can be a mode of presentation in renal salt wasting (Group-1) patients of Bartter's syndrome causing hypokalemic respiratory paralysis. Treatment on an emergent basis is required. In the long run, such patients may require higher doses of supplementary potassium and potassium sparing diuretics.

Prolonged Respiratory Paralysis in Wound Botulism

Chest, 1979
Two patients had wound botulism with longer duration of respiratory paralysis than previously described. Each sustained extensive trauma to soft tissues and grossly contaminated wounds when thrown from a vehicle in a rural area. Progressive muscular weakness and respiratory distress occurred 8 and 13 days after injury, in the presence of infected ...

ACUTE INTERMITTENT PORPHYRIA WITH RESPIRATORY PARALYSIS

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1958
Porphyria is characterized by remissions and exacerbations; it causes death by producing respiratory failure. Three patients with respiratory involvement during recurring episodes of intermittent porphyria were treated by tracheotomy and mechanical respiratory assistance.

TREATMENT OF THE RESPIRATORY PARALYSIS OF POLIOMYELITIS IN A RESPIRATORY CHAMBER

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1930
Respiratory paralysis is the most frequent cause of death in acute poliomyelitis. We have treated three of these cases in the Drinker respirator, with one recovery. So far as we know, this is the first reported recovery in a case in which the paralysis was severe enough to cause death without artificial respiration.

Electrolyte studies in the respiratory paralysis of poliomyelitis

The American Journal of Medicine, 1957
Abstract Arterial plasma electrolyte concentrations were followed in a group of patients who had poliomyelitis with respiratory involvement before and during variable periods of mechanically assisted respiration. During acute respiratory-induced alkalosis and acidosis, plasma potassium, but not plasma sodium, could be directly related to coexisting ...

HYPERTENSION IN POLIOMYELITIS WITH RESPIRATORY PARALYSIS

Pediatrics, 1951
A case of sustained hypertension complicating acute protracted poliomyelitis with respiratory involvement is presented. Data of studies of the autonomic nervous system and the kidneys are given. Complete necropsy findings, including detailed examination of the central nervous system, are presented.

A CASE OF POLIOMYELITIS WITH RESPIRATORY PARALYSIS IN RUMANIA

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1946
The patient under discussion was kept alive for fifty-two days by manual artificial respiration, which as far as I know is a record, as well as a tribute to the courage and resourcefulness of the physician, the patient and her family, all Rumanians and having their first contact with poliomyelitis.

CARE OF RESPIRATORY PARALYSIS FROM POLIOMYELITIS

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1954
Disabilities and deaths from poliomyelitis reached a record number in 1952. The incidence of cases of paralysis has varied with place and year, but fatalities are largely respiratory and to an increasing extent preventable when a community prepares in advance. Although the death rate has been cut in some areas, care of post-acute poliomyelitis has been

BETWEEN RESPIRATORY PARALYSIS AND THE RESPIRATOR

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1937
To the Editor:— The present epidemic of poliomyelitis appears to present a medical emergency from the point of view of the treatment of acute asphyxia. It is well recognized that the most satisfactory form of routine artificial respiration for this type of case is by the negative pressure cabinet.
