Disease relevance of Emergency Treatment

• Ninety-seven acutely ill patients with bronchial asthma were enrolled in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial of intravenous methylprednisolone (125 mg), given on presentation in the emergency room in addition to standard emergency treatments for asthma [1].
• Phentolamine in amounts of 10 to 40 microgram/kg/min was infused intravenously for the emergency treatment of acute pulmonary edema due to left ventricular failure [2].
• Use of intravenous amiodarone for emergency treatment of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias [3].
• CONCLUSION: Aggressive administration of nebulized albuterol during the emergency treatment of acute bronchospasm is associated with statistically significant decreases in serum potassium, magnesium, and phosphate [4].
• These results suggest that endoscopic alcoholization of the lesions preceded by intragastric instillation of norepinephrine is an effective and safe emergency therapy for bleeding from peptic ulcers in old age patients [5].

Psychiatry related information on Emergency Treatment

• The oral patch of diazepam (DZ) was developed to achieve a rapid absorption of DZ for the emergency treatment of epileptic seizure or anxiety disorder [6].

High impact information on Emergency Treatment

• A controlled trial of methylprednisolone in the emergency treatment of acute asthma [1].
• Aminophylline is routinely recommended as a basic part of the emergency treatment of asthma [7].
• BACKGROUND & AIMS: The optimal emergency treatment for gastric fundal variceal bleeding is still unclear [8].
• Nifedipine offers a potential emergency treatment for HAPO when descent or evacuation is impossible and oxygen is not available [9].
• Intramuscular flunitrazepam versus intramuscular haloperidol in the emergency treatment of aggressive psychotic behavior [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Emergency Treatment

• Theophylline overdoses are frequent conditions that may require emergency treatment [11].
• No patients in the diltiazem group required treatment for hypotension, endotracheal intubation, resuscitation from cardiac arrest, or emergency treatment of unstable dysrhythmias [12].
• When compared with a conventional treatment, transhepatic variceal obliteration using steel coils followed by 50% glucose and Gelfoam proved to be an effective, safe emergency treatment for variceal hemorrhage [13].
• This toxicity may be due to cocaethylene, which has been detected in the serum of patients who have used cocaine and ethanol and two require emergency treatment [14].
• In this study, our objective was to standardize, in mice, a measurable methodology for the tongue edema induced by the topical application of the D. picta stem juice; evaluate the effects of eugenol in this model and compare the results with emergency treatment used in hospitals [15].

Biological context of Emergency Treatment

• CONCLUSIONS: Concentrations of C3a, which can induce airway inflammation and bronchoconstriction, were associated with differences in response to emergency treatment of severe asthma exacerbation [16].
• The emergency treatment includes intravenous acetazolamide, digital ocular massage, and inhalation of 5% carbon dioxide -- 95% oxygen for ten minutes [17].
• Sublingual nifedipine 20 mg as an emergency treatment for severe hypertension or hypertensive crisis in 30 patients gave an effective and gradual reduction in blood pressure [18].

Anatomical context of Emergency Treatment

• Hepato-atrial anastomosis as emergency treatment for traumatic rupture of suprahepatic inferior vena cava and hepatic veins [19].
• Splenic artery embolization as emergency treatment of splenic rupture in a child with T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia having t(8;14) translocation [20].
• Three treatment options for emergency treatment of HAE are reviewed: fresh frozen plasma, solvent/detergent-treated plasma and C1-INH concentrate [21].

Associations of Emergency Treatment with chemical compounds

• In an effort to determine the optimal emergency therapy for acute episodes of asthma, we randomly, assigned 102 acute ill patients to 60 minutes of treatment with inhaled isoproterenol alone, isoproterenol plus intravenous aminophylline or isoproterenol plus a single oral dose of an elixir of theophylline [22].
• OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether plasma C3a is elevated in patients presenting for emergency treatment of acute asthma exacerbations and to correlate C3a concentrations with response to therapy [16].
• After initial emergency treatment with bronchodilators subjects received oral theophylline or intravenous aminophylline and nebulised salbutamol four hourly [23].
• The objective of this study was to determine the relative efficacy, safety, and tolerability of oral risperidone versus intramuscular haloperidol, both in combination with lorazepam, for the emergency treatment of psychotic agitation in patients who are able to accept oral medications [24].
• Preliminary results have shown the atypical antipsychotic risperidone to have efficacy equal to that of the conventional agent haloperidol in a direct comparison in the PES; further study is required, however, to determine the appropriateness of the use of risperidone and the other atypical antipsychotics in the emergency treatment of psychosis [25].

Gene context of Emergency Treatment

• OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine whether plasma eotaxin levels are elevated in patients presenting for emergency treatment of acute asthma and to correlate eotaxin levels with disease activity and responses to treatment [26].
• We prospectively evaluated the time required to teach patients correct inhaler use for the emergency treatment of asthma and COPD, and patient factors associated with duration of teaching [27].
• Recombinant t-PA appears to be an effective thrombolytic agent that may soon be standard emergency therapy for patients with AMI [28].
• C1-INH concentrate was reserved for the emergency treatment of acute oedematous attacks, whereas tranexamic acid and danazol were administered for short- or long-term prophylaxis [29].
• This combination may have a specific antipsychotic role in the emergency treatment of PCP psychosis [30].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Emergency Treatment

• STUDY OBJECTIVES: This study was undertaken to determine the incidence of endotracheal intubation after the use of diazepam compared with phenobarbital or phenytoin in emergency treatment of seizures in children [31].
• CONCLUSIONS: The prophylactic sclerotherapy for esophageal varices prolongs long-term survival of patients with liver cirrhosis and HCC, better than emergency therapy [32].
• Six patients ranging in age from 39 to 66 years received thrombolysis followed by placement of stents within the superior vena cava or received stent placement alone as emergency treatment for symptoms of acute superior vena cava obstruction [33].
• Thus, volume expansion alone or the combination of volume expansion and nitroprusside infusion should be beneficial as emergency therapy while preparing for pericardiocentesis in patients with acute pericardial tamponade [34].
• DuoDERM hydroactive dressing versus silver sulphadiazine/Bactigras in the emergency treatment of partial skin thickness burns [35].
