Task 10. Do an extract from the book “Essays on Reanimatology” by N. A. Negovsky, get ready to narra­te it and to dwell upon the meaning of some clinical terms:

An 18-year old patient was admitted to the Institute of General Reanimatology with a diagnosis of perforating ulcer of the stomach. The onset of the disease was acute. The patient had headache, weakness, the body temperature was 39*C. On admission to the clinical department the condition was critical. The patient was inhibited, complained of pain in the right epigastrium, nausea, and difficult breathing. The skin was pallid; the lips cyanotic. Respiration rate,20 per minute. Arterial pressure undeterminable; pulse on the femo­ral vein, 100 per minute. The patient was examined by spe­cialists; the diagnosis was obscure. Centripetal arterial blood supply was stimulated. Dopamine was given by intravenous drip. The arterial pressure rose to 130/80, the pulse rate became 106 beats per minute, respiration rate 28 per minute; lung oedema developed. Gas composition of the blood: Pa0₂' — 45 mm Hg, Hb0₂a² — 75.3 percent.

X-ray examination revealed total pneumonia of the right lung. Artificial lung ventilation was given for progressive respiratory distress, but oxygen tension and saturation of blood remained low. Heparin and fibrinolysin were administered by intravenous drip 4 times a day. At 12 o’clock,despite the treatment the arterial pressure suddenly dropped and the heart stopped (asystole). The pupils dilated, the pulse and arterial pressure on the main arteries were undeterminable, the heart sounds were absent. Closed chest cardiac massage was started immediately; 5 ml of 10 percent calcium chloride solution and 0.5 ml of a 0.2 percent norepinephrine solution were administered intravenously. In 3 minutes the cardiac activity was restored. The patient came to senses in 20 minutes but the arterial pressure dropped periodically to 50/0 mm Hg. Within the course of three hours, the heart of the patient stopped three time, while intensive therapy was being admi­nistered. Each time cardiac activity was restored after 3—4 minutes of resuscitation measures and the patient regained consciousness. At 11 o’clock p. m. the heart stopped for the

fifth time. In 2 — 3 minutes of resuscitation the heart resumed its activity again and the patient regained consciousness in 25 minutes. Dopamine was given to the patient during subse­quent two days of unstable circulation of blood. The clinical diagnosis was established: toxaemic pneumonia; the diagnosis was later confirmed serologically. Gas indices of blood and metabolism improved considerably. In 19 days the patient could breathe spontaneously. Neurological examination revealed asthenia and rapid fatigue; gross neurological disturbances were absent. In 23 days the patient was moved to a pulmono- logical department and later dismissed from the hospital after complete recovery.

Final diagnosis: toxaemic total pneumonia of the right lung. Acute respiratory distress; left ventricular failure. Lung oede­ma. Acute cardiovascular failure. Clinical death developed

5. times. The patient has been reanimated. Complete recovery.

'PaOj = Pressure (arterial Oxygen tension)

²Hb0₂a = Hemoglobin Oxygen ammount

Task 11. Pick up some medical terms from the dictio­nary articles. Decipher them and get ready to dwell upon their meaning:

Artificial Blood

(from SBD)

Artificial blood is a chemical substance used as a substi­tute for natural blood, especially a mixture of fluorocarbons that can carry large amounts of oxygen.

More than a quart of artificial blood was used for a surgical patient who could not accept a normal blood transfusion because he had a rare blood type... . The chemical solution used as artificial blood can keep patients alive by carrying oxygen to the body’s cells and carrying away carbon dioxide, the waste product of metabolism.

DBA

(from SBD)

DBA is abbreviation of dihydro-dimethyl-benzopyranbutyric acid, a compound that reverses the sickling of cells character­istic of sicklecell anemia.

Ekong and his team modified xanthgoxylol to DBA and tested it for antisickling activity. They incubated DBA with suspensions of sickle cclls and found that it completely inhibited sickling.

Microwave Sickness

(from SBD)

Microwave sickness is an illness described in Russian me­dical literature as caused by low-intensity microwave radia­tion that affects the circulatory, cardiovascular, and central nervous systems.

..."microwave sickness" among radar workers and others exposed to microwaves on their jobs. This “sickness” is characterized, they say, by headaches, irritability, anxiety, disturbed sleep, fatigue, forgetfulness, decreased efficiency, and inability to concentrate.
