Clinical Trial[Short term effects of hypertonic saline during severe sepsis and septic shock].
Assessment of haemodynamic effects of 250 ml hypertonic saline 7.5% (HS) perfusion in critically ill patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. ⋯ In patients with severe sepsis or septic shock, 250 ml HS transiently (<120 min) increases CI and PCWP and induces an increase in sodium and chloride concentrations.

Case Reports[A case of anaphylactic shock with tranexamique acid (Exacyl)].
A 72-year-old male patient was scheduled for coronary artery bypass graft surgery because of severe three-vessel disease. Induction of anaesthesia was uneventful. ⋯ Allergological investigations (cutaneous tests, serum IgE concentrations, in vitro histamine-release tests) suggest that this is the first reported case of anaphylactic shock to tranexamic acid. Several weeks later, the patient underwent surgery with a similar anaesthetic regimen and the clinical course was uneventful.
