Recombinant human tumor necrosis factor administered as a 24-hour intravenous infusion.
Intravenous highdose methadone administered by patient controlled analgesia and continuous infusion for the treatment of cancer pain refractory to high-dose morphine.
Because grossly disorganized and catatonic behaviors were prominent, the patient was given 5 mg of intravenous haloperidol.
The physician stops the intravenous feeding, and the patient dies soon thereafter.
It can easily be contaminated, and the intravenous bag of methadone is relatively unstable and needs to be changed frequently.
The patient should be placed in stirrups in the labour ward or in theatre whilst intravenous fluid and appropriate blood products are replaced.
Bleeding manifestations include petechiae, plus oozing from wound sites, intravenous lines, venepuncture sites and mucosal surfaces.
The number of persons treated with antibiotics and with intravenous fluids was determined from hospital records and interviews of patients and medical staff.
