Inhaled NO and almitrine bismesylate in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome: effect of noradrenalin. (1/32)

The combination of inhaled nitric oxide with almitrine bismesylate has been proposed for the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome in order to divert pulmonary blood flow away from poorly ventilated toward well-ventilated areas. The aims of this prospective and comparative study were to: 1) confirm the beneficial effects on oxygenation of this association; 2) evaluate the haemodynamic effects of this association; and 3) evaluate the influence of noradrenaline (a nonspecific vasoconstrictor) on the modification of gas exchange related to inhaled NO and/or almitrine bismesylate. Forty-one sedated paralysed and ventilated patients were investigated. Haemodynamic and blood gas measurements were performed in a fixed order: baseline; inhalation of NO for 30 min.; intravenous infusion of almitrine bismesylate; and concomitant administration of inhaled NO and almitrine bismesylate. Inhaled NO and almitrine bismesylate increased arterial oxygen tension (Pa,O2)/inspiratory oxygen fraction (FI,O2) (p<0.001). The association of inhaled NO with almitrine bismesylate resulted in a dramatic improvement in Pa,O2/FI,O2 (p<0.0001 versus almitrine bismesylate, p<0.05 versus inhaled NO). In patients receiving noradrenalin (n = 19), almitrine bismesylate had no effect on oxygenation. The present study confirmed that the combination of inhaled NO with almitrine bismesylate improved oxygenation, and demonstrated that almitrine bismesylate has no effect on oxygenation in patients receiving noradrenalin.  (+info)

Effect of inhaled prostacyclin in combination with almitrine on ventilation-perfusion distributions in experimental lung injury. (2/32)

BACKGROUND: Inhaled prostacyclin and intravenous almitrine have both been shown to improve pulmonary gas exchange in acute lung injury (ALI). This study was performed to investigate a possible additive effect of prostacyclin and almitrine on pulmonary ventilation-perfusion (VA/Q) ratio in ALI compared with inhaled prostacyclin or intravenous almitrine alone. METHODS: Experimental ALI was established in 24 pigs by repeated lung lavage. Animals were randomly assigned to receive either 25 ng.kg(-1).min(-1) inhaled prostacyclin alone, 1 microg.kg(-1).min(-1) almitrine alone, 25 ng.kg(-1).min(-1) inhaled prostacyclin in combination with 1 microg.kg(-1).min(-1) almitrine, or no specific treatment (controls) for 30 min. For each intervention, pulmonary gas exchange and hemodynamics were analyzed and VA/Q distributions were calculated using the multiple inert gas elimination technique. The data was analyzed within and between the groups by analysis of variance for repeated measurements, followed by the Student-Newman-Keuls test for multiple comparison when analysis of variance revealed significant differences. RESULTS: All values are expressed as mean +/- SD. In controls, pulmonary gas exchange, hemodynamics, and VA/Q distribution remained unchanged. With prostacyclin alone and almitrine alone, arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) increased, whereas intrapulmonary shunt (QS/QT) decreased (P < 0.05). Combined prostacyclin and almitrine also increased PaO2 and decreased QS/QT (P < 0.05). When compared with either prostacyclin or almitrine alone, the combined application of both drugs revealed no additional effect in gas exchange or VA/Q distribution. CONCLUSIONS: The authors conclude that, in this experimental model of ALI, the combination of 25 ng.kg(-1).min(-1) prostacyclin and 1 microg.kg(-1).min(-1) almitrine does not result in an additive improvement of pulmonary gas exchange or VA/Q distribution when compared with prostacyclin or almitrine alone.  (+info)

Association of oral almitrine and medroxyprogesterone acetate: effect on arterial blood gases in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. (3/32)

Almitrine (A) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MA) given separately improve arterial blood gases in some patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); the aim of this study was to assess the effect of the two drugs given together. Forty-eight patients with irreversible COPD and hypoxaemia were prospectively enrolled into a 14-day run-in period and received single-blind oral treatment with double placebo. Patients whose PaO2 remained stable (less than 10% change; n = 29, 25 males, mean age 65.6 years) were included in a 14-day active treatment period and randomly assigned to three groups. They received double-blind oral treatment with: A (50 mg bid, group A, n = 10); MA (20 mg tid, group MA, n = 9); A (50 mg bid) and MA (20 mg tid, group A+MA, n = 10). Anthropometric and spirometric measurements were similar in the three groups and so were the arterial blood gas values at the beginning and the end of the run-in period. At the end of the active treatment period, blood gas changes (mean+/-SE) were significantly different between groups (P<0.05, Kruskal-Wallis test), with improvement in both hypoxaemia and hypercapnia in group A+MA only: delta PaO2 = 7.4+/-1.9 mmHg, delta PaCO2 = -5.1+/-1.7 m mHg (P<0.05, Wilcoxon test). In short-term treatment, the association of A and MA is more efficient than either drug alone at improving arterial blood gases in COPD patients.  (+info)

Effects of almitrine on diaphragm contractile properties in young and old rats. (4/32)

BACKGROUND: Diaphragm muscle force and fatigue are key factors in the development of respiratory failure. Almitrine is used to improve ventilatory drive and ventilation-perfusion matching in respiratory failure. Recently, it has also been shown to improve diaphragm muscle force and endurance in young rats, but it is not known if this effect persists with ageing. OBJECTIVES: To determine the effects of almitrine on diaphragm contractile properties in young and old rats. METHODS: In young and old rats, isometric contractile properties were measured in strips of isolated diaphragm muscle in physiological saline solution at 30 degrees C with or without almitrine. RESULTS: In young animals, almitrine increased twitch tension, reduced half-relaxation time and increased endurance, but had no effect on tetanic tension, contraction time or tension-frequency relationship. Ageing had no effect on endurance, but did reduce twitch and tetanic tension and contraction and half-relaxation time. Almitrine had no effect on contractile tension and kinetics, tension-frequency relationship or on endurance in the old animals. CONCLUSIONS: Ageing negates the beneficial effects of almitrine on diaphragm muscle force and endurance.  (+info)

An investigation into the mechanism of action of almitrine on isolated rat diaphragm muscle fatigue. (5/32)

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that almitrine bismesylate, a respiratory stimulant which acts on the mitochondrial electron transport chain, enhances recovery of rat diaphragm muscle from fatigue. OBJECTIVES: Our aim is to investigate if the enhanced recovery is due to an anti-oxidant property of almitrine, since the electron transport chain is a major site of intracellular free radical production. METHODS: A low-frequency fatigue protocol was used (30 Hz; 250 ms; delivered once every 2 s for 5 min), and the effects of almitrine before and after fatigue onset were compared to those of the anti-oxidant compound N-acetylcysteine (NAC). RESULTS: Almitrine (6 and 10 microg/ml) given before fatigue gave better recovery rates than postfatigue application. In contrast, NAC (100 microM) application before fatigue onset was not as effective as NAC given immediately after the cessation of the fatigue protocol. However, almitrine (6 microg/ml) completely reversed the reduction in baseline twitch tension brought about by a free-radical-producing mixture of FeCl(3) + ADP (1 mM + 2.5 mM, respectively). CONCLUSION: The results of this study confirm that almitrine enhances recovery from fatigue and, in contrast to NAC prefatigue application, is more effective. Also, almitrine was shown to have an anti-oxidant effect, but it does not act like a typical anti-oxidant.  (+info)

Effect of position, nitric oxide, and almitrine on lung perfusion in a porcine model of acute lung injury. (6/32)

In a porcine model of oleic acid-induced lung injury, the effects of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) and intravenous almitrine bismesylate (ivALM), which enhances the hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction on the distribution of regional pulmonary blood flow (PBF), were assessed. After injection of 0.12 ml/kg oleic acid, 20 anesthetized and mechanically ventilated piglets [weight of 25 +/- 2.6 (SD) kg] were randomly divided into four groups: supine position, prone position, and 10 ppm iNO for 40 min followed by 4 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1) ivALM for 40 min in supine position and in prone position. PBF was measured with positron emission tomography and H(2)15O. The redistribution of PBF was studied on a pixel-by-pixel basis. Positron emission tomography scans were performed before and then 120, 160, and 200 min after injury. With prone position alone, although PBF remained prevalent in the dorsal regions it was significantly redistributed toward the ventral regions (P < 0.001). A ventral redistribution of PBF was also obtained with iNO regardless of the position (P = 0.043). Adjunction of ivALM had no further effect on PBF redistribution. PP and iNO have an additive effect on ventral redistribution of PBF.  (+info)

Effects of almitrine bismesylate on arterial blood gases in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and moderate hypoxaemia: a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. (7/32)

BACKGROUND: Advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) generates high costs, especially when patients require domiciliary long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT). Almitrine bismesylate has been shown to improve gas exchange in the lungs. Our hypothesis was that long-term treatment with almitrine might postpone the prescription of LTOT. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of almitrine sequential treatment on arterial blood gases in COPD patients with moderate hypoxaemia. METHODS: COPD patients with moderate hypoxaemia [partial oxygen tension in arterialised blood (PaO(2)) between 7.33 and 8.66 kPa (56-65 mm Hg)] were investigated. After a 1-month run-in period, patients were given either almitrine 100 mg per day or placebo for sequential treatment for a total of 12 months. RESULTS: 115 patients in a steady state (57 in the almitrine and 58 in the placebo group) were included. Mean age was 60 years, mean forced expiratory volume in 1 s was 34 +/- 13% of predicted and mean PaO(2) was 8.04 +/- 0.5 kPa (60.5 +/- 3.8 mm Hg). 38 patients were lost to follow-up, 23 in the almitrine and 15 in the placebo group. The majority of drop-outs were due to adverse events (AE; 16 in the almitrine and 9 in the placebo group). Almitrine treatment resulted in PaO(2) improvement of 0.43 +/- 0.88 kPa (3.2 +/- 6.6 mm Hg) (p = 0.003). The treatment effect between almitrine and placebo was 0.45 kPa (3.4 mm Hg) (p = 0.003). In the almitrine group, two distinct subgroups were observed: responders (n = 19) and non-responders (n = 38). Almitrine treatment in responders resulted in a clinically significant improvement in PaO(2) of 1.36 +/- 0.7 kPa (10.2 +/- 5.3 mm Hg) (p < 0.0001) and a reduction of partial carbon dioxide tension in arterialised blood. 31 patients experienced serious AE: 17 in the almitrine and 14 in the placebo group. Five patients died during the study (3 in the almitrine and 2 in the placebo group). Most AE occurring during the study were related to underlying disease. Clinical diagnosis of polyneuropathy resulted in the withdrawal of 5 patients in the almitrine group and 3 patients in the placebo group. Four patients in the almitrine group experienced weight loss. CONCLUSIONS: Almitrine treatment of patients with severe COPD and moderate hypoxaemia resulted in a small but significant improvement in PaO(2) over 12 months. A clinically important improvement in gas exchange was observed in 33% of treated patients. These patients may be candidates for long-term treatment.  (+info)

An analysis of the action of an analogue of almitrine bismesylate in the rat model of hypoxic lung disease. (8/32)

Chronically hypoxic (CH) and normoxic control rats were used to assess the action of S9581, a water-soluble analogue of almitrine bismesylate. S9581 increased ventilation (Ve) by 34% in control and 20% in CH rats. During acute hypoxia Ve was raised and S9581 caused a further increase of 20% in both groups. Low doses of S9581 and almitrine enhanced the hypoxic ventilatory response in CH rats while high doses depressed it in both groups. Effects of S9581 on the pulmonary circulation were assessed in the isolated perfused lung of rats. As with almitrine a complex relationship of dose-dependent vasoconstriction and dilatation was revealed. In low doses, S9581 enhanced the hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstrictor response to 2% O2 whilst this was attenuated by high doses in both control and CH rats. S9581 seemed to act like almitrine bismesylate on both the ventilation (peripheral chemoreceptor) and the pulmonary circulation. For studying almitrine-like activity the water solubility of S9581 provides considerable advantages for the researcher.  (+info)

Intravenous almitrine has been used successfully for short-term improvement of PaO2in patients with acute respiratory failure. [4,5] At low doses (,10 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1[middle dot] min-1), intravenous almitrine alone improves intrapulmonary shunt. [1] Such improvement in PaO2has been attributed to an intrapulmonary blood flow redistribution from the poorly ventilated zones toward the normal zones. [5,6] Such redistribution has been related to a preferential pulmonary vascular contraction in hypoxic zones. The recent development of inhaled therapies, such as nitric oxide (NO) and prostacyclin, to manipulate the flow component of the ventilation-perfusion ratio prompted us and others [7-9] to combine these therapies with almitrine to optimize the PaO2of severely hypoxic patients. However, such improvement in the ratio of PaO2to the inspiratory fraction of oxygen (FIO(2)) might be cosmetic, because most deaths after acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) were related to multiple ...

1. To test whether almitrine might improve the arterial partial pressure of O2 in patients with chronic obstructive airways disease by improvement of ventilation-perfusion matching, we looked at the interaction between hypoxic and almitrine-induced vasoconstriction in isolated rat lungs perfused with blood at constant flow. Increases in pressure represented increases in resistance.. 2. Almitrine, given in increasing doses between challenges with 2% O2, enhanced hypoxic vasoconstriction at low doses but attenuated it at high doses.. 3. Stimulus-response curves to hypoxia of increasing severity gave a sigmoid curve.. 4. Almitrine solvent caused small changes in pulmonary artery pressure and shifted the stimulus-response curve slightly in a parallel fashion.. 5. Small doses of almitrine enhanced the action of mild to moderate hypoxia, medium doses attenuated moderately severe hypoxia, whereas high doses depressed vasoconstriction due to all degrees of hypoxia.. 6. These effects of almitrine on ...

The plasticity of synaptosomal non-mitochondrial ATPases was evaluated in cerebral cortex from 3-month-old normoxic rats and rats subjected to either mild or severe intermittent normobaric hypoxia [12 hr daily exposure to N2:O2 (90:10 or 91.5:8.5) for four weeks]. The activities of Na+, K(+)-ATPase, low- and high-affinity Ca(2+)-ATPase, Mg(2+)-ATPase, and Ca2+,Mg(2+)-ATPase were assayed in synaptosomes and synaptosomal subfractions, namely synaptosomal plasma membranes and synaptic vesicles. The evaluations were performed after a 4-week treatment with saline (controls) or alpha-adrenergic agents (delta-yohimbine, clonidine), a vasodilator compound (papaverine), and an oxygen-partial pressure increasing agent (almitrine). These treatments differently changed the adaptation to chronic intermittent hypoxia characterized by a decrease in the activity of Na+,K(+)-ATPase, Ca2+,Mg(2+)-ATPase, and high-affinity Ca(2+)-ATPase, concomitant with a modification in the activity of Mg(2+)-ATPase supported in ...

For this study, researchers selected the gastrodine compound granule. It s extracted from tall gastrodia tuber plants and six other herbs and is the first of new herbal drugs in dementia to be tested in clinical trials. The 12-week, randomized, double-blind trial was done in Beijing Dongzhimen Hospital, one of the hospitals running the clinical trials between 1999 and 2002. Researchers identified 120 stroke patients (75 male 45 female) who were diagnosed with mild to moderate VaD lasting three months or more. All patients were assessed for VaD at baseline and randomly divided into two treatment groups. One group (70 patients) was given one bag of the gastrodine compound granule (2.6 milligram gastrodine) three times a day for 12 weeks. The second group (50 patients) was given 40 mg of Duxilâ (almitrine + raubasine) three times a day for 12 weeks. This is a drug used to treat stroke patients in China.

30. Baker concluded that Barrett suffers a moderate impairment and lacks the respiratory capacity to perform the work of a coal miner or comparable work in a dust-free environment. J.A. at 120. The ALJ noted that Bakers opinion was based not only on the March 28, 2000 pulmonary function test, which was determined to be invalid, but also on a subsequent pulmonary function test that did produce qualifying results and on arterial blood gas studies which indicated that Barrett had mild resting arterial hypoxemia. J.A. at 222. The ALJ concluded that, [w]hile the weight of the valid and conforming pulmonary function tests alone constitutes probative evidence of total disability, when combined with the arterial blood gases, which provide no evidence of total disability, and the medical opinions, which weigh in favor of a finding of total disability, the weight of the evidence directs a finding of total disability. J.A. at 223. In rejecting Dr. Dahhans opinion to the contrary, the ALJ noted that ...

Doxapram hydrochloride (marketed as Dopram, Stimulex or Respiram) is a respiratory stimulant. Administered intravenously, doxapram stimulates an increase in tidal volume, and respiratory rate. Doxapram stimulates chemoreceptors in the carotid bodies of the carotid arteries, which in turn, stimulates the respiratory centre in the brain stem. Doxapram is a white to off-white, odorless, crystalline powder that is stable in light and air. It is soluble in water, sparingly soluble in alcohol and practically insoluble in ether. Injectable products have a pH from 3.5-5. Benzyl alcohol or chlorobutanol is added as a preservative agent in the commercially available injections. Doxapram is used in intensive care settings to stimulate the respiratory rate in patients with respiratory failure. It may be useful for treating respiratory depression in patients who have taken excessive doses of drugs such as buprenorphine or fentanyl analogues which may fail to respond adequately to treatment with naloxone. It ...

Thank you for your interest in our paper and for your comments. As was correctly pointed out in the letter, patients who are kept NPO should be given IV glucose supplementation. This was not done for our patient and this is indeed one of the reasons we decided to present her case in the Learning from errors section of the journal. We would like to clarify that it is in fact very unlikely for a non- breastfeeding patient to become significantly acidotic secondary to having no caloric intake for three days. Our bodies are normally well equipped to deal with short term starvation and only mild levels of acidosis develop in the starvation state when insulin levels are normal. In a small study published by Reidenberg et al., obese (non-lactating) women were starved for over a month and this produced only a mild metabolic acidosis of approximately 7.35 on arterial blood gas analysis. 1 On the other hand, Mohammad et al. showed that when lactating women are fasting for more than 42 hours, they begin to ...
