[Hemoglobin dissociation curve and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate in erythrocytes in septic shock].

The oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve (OHDC) and intraerythrocytic 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) play an important role in oxygen delivery, especially during shock. 62 determinations in eight septic shocks were carried out. Hem.

[Acute carbon monoxide poisoning: lung injury or cardiogenic pulmonary edema?].

The authors report 7 cases of acute pulmonary edema in acute carbon monoxide poisoning. Hemodynamic data suggest existence of a myocardial failure as a possible cause of these pulmonary edema and indicate caution for volemic expansion during the treatment of shock in carbon monoxide poisoning.

[Acute ajmaline poisoning. Study of 7 cases].

Seven cases of acute ajmaline overdose admitted over a 3 year period to a polyvalent intensive care unit are reported. The severity of this condition is related to the membrane stabilising and depolarising effects of ajmaline on the myocardium. The dose ingested varied from 10 to 40 mg/kg.
