Bobbity Deepthi, Viswas Chhapola, Sandeep Kumar Kanwal, Ankita Goel Sharma, Virendra KumarIndian Journal of Critical Care Medicine 2018 22(7):552-554 Chondrodysplasia punctata (CDP) is a group of skeletal dysplasias characterized primarily by punctate calcifications in cartilage. It is a rare disease with an incidence of 1:100,000 live births. Extensive airway involvement with calcification of tracheal, bronchial, and thyroid cartilage in CDP is an infrequent finding. We aim to report a case of CDP with characteristic radiological features and severe airway involvement.

A hot body in a cold room hyperthermia secondary to rapid diuresis in cardiac failure; the perils of rapid fluid shifts
Boby Varkey Maramattom, Surya Joseph, Siddharth Bhattacharjee, Anil Kumar, Praveen SreekumarIndian Journal of Critical Care Medicine 2018 22(8):608-610 A 66-year-old man was admitted with anasarca and congestive cardiac failure. He was started on intravenous diuretics and fluid restriction and lost nearly 35 kg of fluids in 13 days. He then developed hyperthermia and delirium. An extensive workup was inconclusive.

Rapid diuresis-induced hyperthermia and volume contraction were considered, and his fluid bal...

Acute suppurative thyroiditis with thyroid abscess by Klebsiella pneumoniae: An unusual presentation
We present a case of a diabetic patient showing clinical symptoms of acute thyroiditis with progressing dysphagia, who was diagnosed as thyroid abscess as a result of Klebsiella pneumoniae. The infection in the absence of other significant history was initially considered de novo; however, on extensive evaluation was associated with other distant primary source of the same microbe. The patient was managed with minimally invasive drainage of abscess and intravenous antibiotics.

Evaluating extravascular lung water in sepsis: Three lung-ultrasound techniques compared against transpulmonary thermodilution
Conclusion: L-US is feasible in patients with severe sepsis. In addition, L-US 28-zone protocol demonstrated high specificity and better sensitivity than abbreviated 4- and 8-zone protocols. In ARDS, the L-US 28-zone protocol was more accurate than the 4- and 8-zone protocols in predicting EVLW. Consideration of limitations of the latter protocols may prevent clinicians from reaching premature conclusions regarding the prediction of EVLW. Trial Registration: ISRCTN11419081. Registered 4 February 2015 retrospectively.
