Paradoxical Hypoxemia Following Positive Pressure Ventilation: Exploring the Pathophysiology.
Eur J Case Rep Intern Med
October 2024
Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Positive pressure ventilation (PPV), particularly BiPAP, can sometimes cause unexpected hypoxemia in patients, as illustrated by a case involving a 58-year-old woman with a history of chronic lung issues.
- The investigation revealed a right-to-left interatrial shunt due to a small patent foramen ovale (PFO), which contributed to the paradoxical hypoxemia despite improved carbon dioxide levels.
- This case highlights the importance of understanding patient-specific conditions and the need to adjust BiPAP settings to optimize oxygen levels effectively.
Management and outcomes of foramen magnum stenosis in children with achondroplasia at a single center over 15 years.

Objective: Achondroplasia is associated with foramen magnum stenosis (FMS), which can lead to sudden unexpected death in infants. There is no wide consensus regarding the best management of FMS. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of FMS in a cohort of children with achondroplasia and to evaluate screening and neurosurgical interventions of FMS regarding its effects and complications.

A Case of Infective Endocarditis in a Middle-Aged Patient With Trisomy 21 and an Incidentally Discovered Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO).

Internal Medicine, Howard University Hospital, Washington, USA.
Trisomy 21 often leads to cardiac complications, usually associated with congenital heart disease, such as atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects, and patent ductus arteriosus. This case describes an unexpected instance of infective endocarditis (IE) in a middle-aged patient with an incidentally discovered patent foramen ovale (PFO). The common risk factors for IE include previous valve surgery, artificial heart valves, pacemakers, prior IE, congenital defects like bicuspid aortic valve, IV drug use, and the congenital defects mentioned earlier.

Department of Pediatrics, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Background: Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) causing cyanosis with patent foramen ovale (PFO) and right-to-left atrial shunting requires a precise diagnosis for optimal therapy. Tricuspid valve prolapse (TVP) can lead to TR and is sometimes overlooked, especially in complex cases with factors like pulmonary hypertension (PH). We present an infant with cyanosis and profound TR after high-altitude exposure, initially misattributed to PH but found to be primarily due to spontaneous chordae tendineae rupture and TVP.
