Intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischaemic stroke in a hospital without a specialised neuro-intensive care unit.

Background: Treatment with intravenous (i.v.) recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) is recommended for selected patients with acute ischaemic stroke.

Characteristics of the ventilatory response in subjects susceptible to high altitude pulmonary edema during acute and prolonged hypoxia.

The present study compares the changes in ventilation in response to sustained hypobaric hypoxia and acute normobaric hypoxia between subjects susceptible to high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE-S) and control subjects (C-S). Seven HAPE-S and five C-S were exposed to simulated high altitude of 4000 m for 23 h in a hypobaric chamber. Resting minute ventilation (V(E)), tidal volume (V(T)), and respiratory frequency (f(R)), as well as the end-tidal partial pressures of oxygen (P(ET(O2))) and carbon dioxide (P(ET(CO2))) were measured in all subjects sitting in a standardized position.
