Case Reports[Resuscitation of a near-drowning patient by the use of a portable extracorporeal circulation device].
We report on a 21-year old patient who nearly drowned in cold water under inexplicable circumstances. About 1/2 hour later he was found with cardiac arrest. Immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation remained unsuccessfully but was continued. ⋯ After introducing a femo-femoral bypass the patient was rapidly rewarmed and oxygenated using a portable extracorporeal circulation and membrane oxygenation. Defibrillation succeeded at a core temperature of 34.4 degrees C. A severe ARDS developed the same day which was successfully treated by membrane oxygenation. 41 days later the patient left the hospital fully recovered.

[Effect of S-(+)-ketamine on autoregulation of cerebral blood flow].
The present study investigates the effects of S-(+)-ketamine on cerebral blood flow (CBF) autoregulation in rats. ⋯ The present study indicates that autoregulatory cerebrovascular dilation is preserved with low and high doses of S-(+)-ketamine. Differences in the lower limit of CBF autoregulation may be consistent with an increased sympathetic tone induced by low doses of S-(+)-ketamine.
