How can you use “pruritus” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The significant increase in Qsp/Qt and decrease in PaO 2 in the patients affected by pruritus can be interpreted as the effect of an imbalance in the ventilation/perfusion ratio, induced by the vasodilating action of vancomycin on the pulmonary circulation, as supported by the significant reduction in pulmonary vascular resistance at time point 3. Also, the respiratory changes were significant only in patients of group A who were not treated with a β-blocker, whereas preopera-tive use of the drug eliminated any significant respiratory change.
Surprisingly, assessment of other haemodynamic parameters (SVRI, CI, SVI) revealed a significant change only in those patients who were affected by pruritus and not treated with a β-blocker, as though treatment had antagonized all of the cardiovascular effects triggered by the release of histamine during vancomycin administration.
· The physician encountering pruritus during vancomycin administration must correct the condition of hypovolaemia before continuing vancomycin infusion.
On the basis of the results obtained, we conclude that occurrence of pruritus during vancomycin administration must be considered an alarm bell that indicates the presence of peripheral vasodilatation.
· Pruritus is also associated with a slight but significant reduction in PaO 2 and increase in Qsp/Qt.
