1/2. intracranial pressure within a developing intracerebral haemorrhage.We report the time course of intracranial pressure within a developing intracerebral haemorrhage. Simultaneous readings of intracranial pressure were obtained from a contralateral parenchymal monitor and ventricular fluid pressure monitor. This recording demonstrates the existence of large pressure gradients in patients with expanding mass lesions.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/2. Acute fatal haemorrhage during percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy.Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) is associated with a number of life-threatening complications. We present a case of massive and fatal arterial haemorrhage that occurred in the intensive care unit during an elective PDT on an 86-year-old woman following earlier evacuation of a traumatic subdural haematoma. An avulsed right subclavian artery was found at post mortem. Previous thyroid surgery and aberrant arterial anatomy contributed to the fatal outcome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = haemorrhage (Clic here for more details about this article) |
