Hemorrhagic shock and encephalopathy: further description of a new syndrome.

Abrupt onset of coma, seizures, severe shock, and hyperpyrexia occurred in two previously healthy children. Their illnesses closely resembled a clinical syndrome of uncertain cause, the hemorrhagic shock and encephalopathy syndrome. Our patients had striking similarities to as well as certain differences from reported patients. Based on the similarities, we believe our two cases represent additional occurrences of the syndrome. Based on the differences, we conclude that the syndrome should be labeled "shock and encephalopathy syndrome" and that the prognosis may be improved by early aggressive treatment of shock.

Management of life-threatening asthma with intravenous isoproterenol infusions.

Thirty-four patients with life-threatening childhood status asthmaticus were treated with intravenous isoproterenol infusions. Twenty-seven responded favorably; seven failed to respond and underwent mechanical ventilation. Intravenously administered isoporterenol was a useful therapeutic adjunct in the treatment of these severe attacks. Complications in these cases were rare, but cardiac arrhythmia, rebound bronchospasm, and acute mobilization of secretions need to be considered. Further evaluation of the efficacy of intravenous infusions of isoproterenol in status asthmaticus would be valuable.
