Focus Assessed Transthoracic Echocardiography for the Diagnosis and Management of Pulmonary Embolism in Anaesthesia and Critical Care

Volume 25, Number 3 (2015)

Juliana Dudko, Asta Mačiulienė, Giedrė Bakšytė, Andrius Macas Abstract Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a relatively common life-threatening situation in anaesthesiologists‘ and intensivists‘ clinical practice. Obstruction of the pulmonary artery (PA) circulation and increased pressure in it leads to right ventricular failure. Early diagnosis of PE is fundamental for immediate and highly effective treatment. Transesophageal echocardiography…

The Spontaneus Prenatal Closure of Arterial Ductus: Case Reports

Volume 22, Number 6(85) (2012)

Ramunė Vankevičienė, Nijolė Drazdienė Abstract Fetal ductus arteriosus is the small and very important vessel for fetal hemodynamic. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are known to have a constrictive effect on the fetal ductus. The constriction of ductus arteriosus in utero may be clinically important with respect to fetal hemodynamic compromise and the potential for neonatal cardiac…
