Thyroid storm as a cause of loss of consciousness following anaesthesia for emergency caesarean section.

abstract：:We performed a retrospective audit of blood glucose control after introducing a new protocol for insulin infusion. The audit showed a sustained reduction in the median blood glucose, which decreased from 7.0 to 6.8 mmol x l(-1), primarily because of a reduction in the proportion of values above 6 mmol x l(-1). When we...

abstract：:Nitric oxide is a potent endogenous vasodilator involved in the homeostatic control of systemic blood pressure. It has also recently been demonstrated that when inhaled in low concentrations it acts as a specific pulmonary vasodilator. The concept of inhaled nitric oxide as a form of therapy is almost an anathema to a...
