Few reports are found.Ĭonclusions: Flow phenomenon-related refractory hypoxaemia must be suspected as an exclusion diagnosis in patients with a mediastinal mass. ![]() Results: There is a growing interest in the physiological flow phenomenon leading to the development of refractory hypoxaemia in the absence of increased pressure in the cardiac cavities. A search of the literature was conducted in Pub Med, Scielo and Bireme. Materials and methods: Clinical case presentation authorised by the Ethics Committee of our institution of a young patient who presented with progressive dyspnoea, reaching functional class IV/IV. Incidence, aetiology and pathophysiology are described. Objectives:Clinical case presentation and non-systematic review of the literature on refractory hypoxaemia and flow phenomenon. The flow phenomenon is implicated in its development. Introduction: Refractory hypoxaemia is a critical, life-threatening condition if not resolved promptly. 118-32, Bogotá D.C., Colombia.Īrticle history: Received Accepted 13 October 2016 Available online 9 December 2016 * Corresponding author at: Carrera 23, No. ![]() Fenómeno de flujo, diagnóstico diferencial de la hipoxemia refractaria en pacientes con masa mediastinal anterior. ☆ Please cite this article as: Laverde-Sabogal CE, Espinosa-Almanza CJ. ![]() ![]() Reporte de casoĬarlos Eduardo Laverde-Sábogal a,*, Carmelo José Espinosa-Almanza bĪ Intensive Care Unit, Hospital Universitario San Ignacio, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogotá D.C., Colombiaī Intensive Care Unit, Medical School, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogotá D.C., Colombia Case report ☆įenómeno de flujo, diagnóstico diferencial de la hipoxemia refractaria en pacientes con masa mediastinal anterior.
