Eight pediatric patients with fulminant meningococcemia, purpura, and disseminated intravascular coagulation who by multiple prognostic scoring systems were anticipated to have a poor outcome underwent intensive plasma exchange (IPE) or whole blood exchange (WBE) in addition to standard medical ther
## Abstract The purpose of this report was to determine the effectiveness of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in preoperative preparation of patients with thyrotoxicosis scheduled for either thyroid or nonthyroid surgery. We retrospectively reviewed 11 patients with thyrotoxicosis and those who pr
We report the smallest infant (7.5 kg) to receive intensive plasma exchange (52 PEs) therapy as treatment of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). PE temporarily reduces circulating autoantibody levels and can be an effective adjunctive therapy with corticosteroids and cytotoxic drugs or other immuno-
Accidental extubation is a potentially serious event for pediatric or neonatal patients with respiratory failure, especially in clinical settings in which personnel capable of performing reintubation may not be readily available. Thus the rate of accidental extubation in small intensive care units t
