Avatar f tn Most midwives are neonatal certified.
Avatar f tn In the past, the period from 3 weeks before until 2 weeks after the estimated date of delivery was considered “term”, with the expectation that neonatal outcomes from deliveries in this interval were uniform and good. Increasingly, however, research has identified that neonatal outcomes, especially respiratory morbidity, vary depending on the timing of delivery even within this 5-week gestational age range.
Avatar f tn It is much, much weaker than epineprhine and you would get a much, much lower dose of it than dental injection with epinephrine. Even so, I would just play it safe for regular exams and just get tropicamide which should not affect blood pressure or pulse.
Avatar n tn Animal studies have revealed evidence of teratogenicity when epinephrine was given in doses approximately 25 times the usual recommended human dose (on a per kg basis). There are no reports of teratogenicity in humans. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Epinephrine is only recommended for use during pregnancy when benefit outweighs risk.
Avatar n tn m wondering with my heart problem how dangerous is it to get a dose of epinephrine and how will that affect my heart? I had an epinephrine dose in the early nineties due to a breathing problem, but that was before I was diagnosed with the mvp and atrial misfire.
Avatar m tn Hi, It is a serotonin and nor epinephrine reuptake inhibitor. The name of the neurotransmitter is nor epinephrine it is different from epinephrine. Most of the side effects occur during the period when one is taking the medication. But the important thing to remember is to follow the doctors instructions carefully. To reduce the incidence of side effects it is always started with a low dose and then it is gradually increased.
Avatar f tn Hi, welcome to the forum, Epipen delivers a measured dose of epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) using autoinjector technology, most frequently for the treatment of acute allergic reactions to avoid or treat the onset of anaphylactic shock. In certain cases it can be used to stop local bleeding. Epinephrine is known to act on the uterus through beta 2 receptors and can cause relaxation of the uterus. At term, it can prevent the contraction and delay the labor.
Avatar m tn Having 1 tiny warts recurrence every year outside anus with surgeon applied. Is it save for preventing transmission during swimming?
967168 tn?1477584489 I've read quite a bit on asystole now; seems weird that the protocol is to give epinephrine every 3-5 minutes yet they shocked me with 360j instead of giving me it this really makes me wonder what happened because I remember him telling me my heart stopped and I flat lined the first time he hit the spot in the bottom thin underside of the heart. unless epi is administered you don't survive asystole - maybe my life is just a dream?!
Avatar f tn He was taken to the resuscitation table and given oxygen and was absolutely fine. It was very scary but docs said they deal with it many times daily.
Avatar f tn Lowering your dose WILL NOT mitigate neonatal withdrawal symptoms after birth. The fetus absorbs much of the dose, causing mom to be in constant withdrawal if dose is lowered, which is dangerous to the fetus. Federal methadone guidelines now recommend dosage increases during pregnancy. Yes, the baby will go through withdrawal. Most competent physicians will put the baby on phenobarbital or other benzodiazepines and/or blood-pressure-lowering medications to help with it.
Avatar f tn I have to go have a tooth filled tomorrow and I'm somewhat apprehensive about the anesthetic. I know most often the ones they use contain epinephrine because it's a vasoconstricter and causes the anesthesia to work longer. I know you can request the anesthetic without the epi but then it wears off quickly (like when they are drilling on your tooth). I asked my cardiologist and he said if I didn't get a big dose of the epi, if it was mixed, with the beta blockers I should be ok.
Avatar f tn I had to get stitches last night, and was given 5-6 shots of epinephrine and lidocane. I told the intake nurse I was taking synthroid (which I presume implies thyroid problems). I felt a little "unusual" afterward (pounding heart, feeling calm and detached..), and was googling the side effects of the shot.. an article said this: "Additionally, epinephrine and lidocaine usually aren’t used in patients with thyroid disease, or disease of the kidneys or liver.
Avatar f tn Adverse events associated with the neonatal withdrawal syndrome included hypertonia, neonatal tremor, neonatal agitation, and myoclonus, and there have been reports of convulsions, apnea, respiratory depression, and bradycardia. Talk to your Doc and have a specified treatment and counseling done.Keep me updated.
Avatar m tn Doctors say it is not because of the spray because so little is absorbed into the system through the nose, but I have read online that Beconase is absorbed more than other nasal sprays, (up to 44% of each dose is swallowed). I have seen numerous people reporting palpitations and other systemic effects across the internet after using Beconase and other brands (Nasonex, Flonase etc) of steroid nasal sprays. Has anyone had a similar experience?
Avatar f tn The average dose increase during pregnancy is 25-40% -- more common to need a dose increase in patients with thyroidectomy than in patients with hashimoto's. But not all women need the 25-40% increase, so it is important to check levels frequently. A slightly high dose is safer than a dose that is not enough.
Avatar n tn For the first time in 37 years, two weeks ago when I received regular dental anesthetic my heart raced and I started having palpitations. It passed of course in a few minutes and when I went in yesterday for a root canal I asked for the anesthetic without epi. The first shot was fine, but the second injection sill caused my heart to pound hard, my chest felt shallow and made me feel a little panicy. It passed and the 3rd injection did the same.
1123420 tn?1350561158 The results of a cohort study indicate that 30% of neonates who had prolonged exposure to SSRIs in utero experience symptoms, in a dose- response manner, of a neonatal abstinence syndrome (e.g., tremor, gastrointestinal or sleep disturbances, hypertonicity, high- pitched cry) after birth. The authors suggest that infants exposed to SSRIs should be closely monitored for a minimum of 48 hours after birth. The effect of sertraline on labor and delivery in humans is unknown.
Avatar f tn Hi, Adrenaline is a vasopressure drug used for cardiac resuscitation and also used locally to control bleeding.With BP of 140/90 mmHg and head injury it should be avoided.In this condition it may cause increase in BP,increase in heart rate and this may worsen the outcome of the patient.
Avatar f tn Hi there, I'm not Grace but....have been doing quite a bit of reading on this subject with great interest. I'm assuming that the woman you're talking about with the 2 children with CP has HSV 2. As far as I understand, CP is not connected to neonatal herpes--it's a separate condition altogether. The CP is most likely a result of something else...not herpes. Isn't it linked to a lack of oxygen at birth? That is not herpes.
Avatar f tn Question for moms/dads or any specialist doctors that want to weigh in For those babies that have acquired neonatal hsv what did the pediatrician/infectious disease tell you to expect in terms of future outbreaks, if they had disease localized to the CNS will they be able to transmit the virus via skin? Or only if there is an outbreak. There is literally not research on then prognosis or outlook.
Avatar m tn I am wondering if during your resuscitation some organs or structures may have been bruised, damaged or injured? I have seen many a rib fracture and other injuries during a code. At the time the only concern is to save a life. Injuries incurred are addressed after recovery. So I would begin there. Was something injured, even something small? I would obtain a second opinion outside of the facility that you are currently being treated.
Avatar f tn Can anyone here tell me if ms has any effect on either of the hormones epinephrine or norepinephrine?
