hyperpyrexia

If the temperature reaches the extremely high level of hyperpyrexia, aggressive cooling is required.

There is also the risk of hyperpyrexia.

Sustained hyperpyrexia may lead to rhabdomyolysis, which in turn can cause renal failure and death.

The most prominent form of an inherited biochemical defect is malignant hyperpyrexia.

Propofol appears to be safe for use in porphyria, and has not been known to trigger malignant hyperpyrexia.

But it also has great present metabolic (BMR) cost, and the risk of hyperpyrexia.

Perhaps there is some chemical that has a syner- gistic effect with cocaine vis-a-vis causing hyperpyrexia.

Hyponatremia and other electrolyte disturbances are also quite common, as is hypotension, hyperpyrexia or, late in the disease, hypothermia.

"It's called hyperpyrexia," Laurie said, staring at Stuart Morgan.

Infections commonly associated with hyperpyrexia include: roseola, rubeola and enteroviral infections.

Much more research is warranted to evaluate this apparent relationship of idiopathic hyperpyrexia, MH, and stress.

Less common symptoms, such as tachycardia, convulsions, vomiting, hypertension, hyperpyrexia and ataxia, have all been noted.

In any case, fever must be brought under control in instances when fever escalates to hyperpyrexia and tissue damage is imminent.

They knew that eve d erroneously ascribe that to the hyperpyrexia that cocaine toxicity causes."

Rare cases have been reported of hypertensive crisis, serotonin syndrome, myoclonus, hyperpyrexia, psychosis, and delirium, some of which progressed to coma.

Both kinds of intestinal MAO inhibition can cause hyperpyrexia, nausea, and psychosis if foods high in levodopa are consumed.

He also explained how ecstasy (MDMA) and amphetamines could cause death by hyperpyrexia and dehydration.

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome; rare, life-threatening hyperpyrexia caused by antidopaminergic drugs (mostly antipsychotics)

Irreversible MAOIs: agitation, delirium, coma, hyperpyrexia (high fever), seizures and severe changes in blood pressure.

In the Franco-German War the cooling bath was largely employed, in conjunction frequently with quinine; and it was used in the treatment of hyperpyrexia.

Other signs of overdose may include: confusion, disturbed concentration, transient visual hallucinations, dilated pupils, agitation, hyperactive reflexes, stupor, drowsiness, muscle rigidity, vomiting, hypothermia, hyperpyrexia.

This condition is known by a number of names, including malignant hyperthermia (MH), malignant hyperthermia syndrome (MHS), and malignant hyperpyrexia.

Prof. Whyte records that Michael Denborough's research unit on malignant hyperpyrexia remained on the 5th floor of the main block of RCH "until its dying days."

Meperidine HCl (Demerol), an opioid, has been associated with hypertension, hyperpyrexia, skeletal muscle rigidity, seizures, and coma when used with MAOIs.

Also, if the atmosphere is as warm as or warmer than the skin during times of high humidity, blood brought to the body surface cannot dissipate heat by conduction to the air, and a condition called hyperpyrexia results.
