How can you use “pruritus” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
For example, Renz and coworkers [ 11] infused 1 g vancomycin over 10 min to patients scheduled for elective prosthetic joint replacement, and found that 90% of patients had rash and pruritus, and 50% had significant hypotension.
Our analysis of haemodynamic profiles shows that, in those patients who exhibited pruritus (group A), systemic vascular resistance fell significantly 30 min after initiation of vancomycin administration.
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.
We therefore conducted the present study to investigate the haemodynamic behaviour that follows the occurrence of pruritus, and to compare it with that observed in patients who are free from this clinical sign.
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.
