METHODS: This was a retrospective observational cohort study of children ventilated by HFOV between January, 2002 and December, 2011. The following parameters were recorde...
Non-invasive ventilation in acute respiratory failure in children
Abadesso, C; Nunes, P; Silvestre, C; Matias, E; Loureiro, H; Almeida, HBACKGROUND: There is only sparse data on the use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in acute respiratory failure (ARF) in infants and children. For this setting we investigated feasibility and efficacy of NIV and aimed to identify early predictors for treatment failure. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective chart review was performed for all patients treated with NIV for ARF from 2003 to 2010 on an 8-bed pediatric...
Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome: first signs in the neonatal period
Cabral, M; Abadesso, C; Conde, M; Almeida, H; Carreiro, HThe term "catastrophic" antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) is used to define a subset of the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) characterized by the clinical evidence of three or more organ involvement by thrombotic events in a short period of time and with laboratory confirmation of the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies. We describe a male infant first admitted at 17 days old for necrotizing enteritis complic...
Familial haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis: two case reports
Ferreira, M; Martins, J; Silvestre, C; Abadesso, C; Matias, E; Loureiro, H; Figueiredo, A; Dias, A; Almeida, HHaemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life threatening inflammatory syndrome, which presents a highly stimulated but ineffective immune response with severe hypercytokinaemia. HLH, primary or secondary, is characterised by prolonged fever and hepatosplenomegaly associated with pancytopenia, hypertriglyceridaemia and hypofibrinogenaemia. However, the hallmark of HLH is impaired or absent function of nat...
Ventilação não invasiva numa unidade de cuidados intensivos pediátricos
Nunes, P; Abadesso, C; Almeida, E; Silvestre, C; Loureiro, H; Almeida, HIntrodução: A Ventilação não-invasiva (VNI) tem vindo a ser utilizada de uma forma crescente em crianças com insuficiência respiratória aguda, evitando complicações associadas com a ventilação mecânica convencional. Objectivo: Determinar a eficácia da VNI em crianças com insuficiência respiratória aguda ou crónica agudizada. Métodos: Estudo prospectivo de todas as crianças submetidas a VNI (Novembro 2005 a Abri...
Use of palivizumab to control an outbreak of syncytial respiratory virus in a n...
Abadesso, C; Almeida, H; Virella, D; Carreiro, H; Machado, MCTo evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a humanized respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) monoclonal antibody (palivizumab) to control an outbreak of RSV in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), we retrospectively analysed two RSV outbreaks. Between 11 November 1998 and 18 March 1999, two separate RSV outbreaks occurred in a large (26 beds) NICU. All procedures for preventing nosocomial spread of RSV (includin...
