Accidental amikacin overdose in man: emergency therapy by extrarenal dialysis.

Three accidental overdoses of amikacin (6, 6.5 and 8 times the normal dose) are reported. Emergency haemodialysis therapy was given and the serum levels monitored. No toxic effects were encountered. The need for such emergency haemodialysis seems to be limited to patients with impaired renal function or to cases where little time has elapsed between intake and detection of overdose.

[Mendelson's syndrome].

Mendelson's syndrome is discussed with a review of the literature and presentation of 27 personal cases studies. Accidental aspiration of gastric fluid occurs primarily during anesthesia, in cranial trauma victims, and in toxic coma patients. Tissue damage is proportional to the acidity and the quantity of aspirated fluid. The initial clinical manifestations are often serious, sometimes leading to acute respiratory distress syndrom with pulmonary edema. Frequent infectious complications, often with anaerobic microbes, are deciding factors in the prognosis. Artificial ventilation with positive pressure (sometimes continuous) is often necessary. Administration of corticosteroids at high doses is likely favorable. Prophylactic administration of antibiotics is initially directed against anaerobic agents. The prevention of this serious syndrome should be a primary concern of anesthesiologists and physicians treating comatous patients.

[Evolutionary comparison of laboratory cardiac and infectious parameters during septic shock: about an original case].

A massive release of troponin Ic and CKMB was described in a patient during septic shock. According to experimental animal models previously described, this release of biological markers by myocardial tissue could be due to an inflammatory process of myocardial tissue during septic shock without myocardial infarction in non cardiac critically ill patients.
