If the organ dysfunction of severe sepsis is associated with low blood pressure ( hypotension ), or insufficient blood flow ( hypoperfusion ) to one or more organs ( causing, for example, lactic acidosis ), this is septic shock.

If there is even a remote suspicion of sepsis, they are frequently treated with antibiotics empirically until cultures are sufficiently proven to be negative.

** Maternal: If chorioamnionitis is present at the time of PPROM, antibiotic therapy is usually given to avoid sepsis, and delivery is indicated.

If the situation worsens it is possible that the defenses cease to function altogether and the individual becomes aware of the incongruence of their situation.

If the condition worsens to a point where treatments are not affecting the newborn as they should, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ( ECMO ) can be necessary to keep the infant alive.

If the baby's condition worsens, an endotracheal tube ( breathing tube ) is inserted into the trachea and intermittent breaths are given by a mechanical device.

If the condition persists or worsens into late childhood and adulthood, a corrective osteotomy may be recommended to straighten the legs.

If she takes in too much energy, it causes mental overloads which cause her to speak too fast, scatters her thinking, and worsens her control over the blasts.

If he had been `` liquidated '' in some way, he would have become a martyr, a rallying point for people who shared his ideas.

If we examine the three types of change from the point of view of their internal structure we find an additional profound difference between the third and the first two, one that accounts for the notable difference between the responses they evoke.

If he were to go with White, he would be out there two days, not just listening in the dark at some point between here and Papa-san, but moving ever deeper into enemy land -- behind Papa-san -- itself.

If their schedules were to synchronize, there was no point in wasting time.

If design head has a deep cavity, clay lid will be quite thick at this point ; ;

If the argument is accepted as essentially sound up to this point, it remains for us to consider whether the patient's difficulties in orienting himself spatially and in locating objects in space with the sense of touch can be explained by his defective visual condition.

If this attitude is seriously questioned in the Soviet Union, it does not necessarily follow that the majority of the society in which I live is too aware of the necessity for clarity on this ethical as well as aesthetic point of view.

If the Southerners were sufficiently aroused, they could very well cut the Kennedy legislative program to ribbons from their vantage point of committee chairmanships, leaving Sam Rayburn leading a truncated, unworkable party.

If it was, then it must have been God's intention to translate him at a certain point from time to eternity.

If one also removes the second postulate (" a line can be extended indefinitely ") then elliptic geometry arises, where there is no parallel through a point outside a line, and in which the interior angles of a triangle add up to more than 180 degrees.

If the object point be infinitely distant, all rays received by the first member of the system are parallel, and their intersections, after traversing the system, vary according to their perpendicular height of incidence, i. e. their distance from the axis.

If the object point O is infinitely distant, u1 and u2 are to be replaced by h1 and h2, the perpendicular heights of incidence ; the sine condition then becomes sin u ' 1 / h1 = sin u ' 2 / h2.

If, in an unsharp image, a patch of light corresponds to an object point, the center of gravity of the patch may be regarded as the image point, this being the point where the plane receiving the image, e. g., a focusing screen, intersects the ray passing through the middle of the stop.

If a system consists of several particles, the total angular momentum about a point can be obtained by adding ( or integrating ) all the angular momenta of the constituent particles.

If the net force on some body is directed always toward some fixed point, the center, then there is no torque on the body with respect to the center, and so the angular momentum of the body about the center is constant.

If the score reaches 20-all, then the game continues until one side gains a two point lead ( such as 24 – 22 ), up to a maximum of 30 points ( 30 – 29 is a winning score ).

If the filter shows amplitude ripple within the passband, the x dB point refers to the point where the gain is x dB below the nominal passband gain rather than x dB below the maximum gain.

If the player and dealer have the same point total, this is called a " push " and the player typically doesn't win or lose money on that hand.

If the heat of vaporization and the vapor pressure of a liquid at a certain temperature is known, the normal boiling point can be calculated by using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation thus:

If the large-scale Universe appears isotropic as viewed from Earth, the cosmological principle can be derived from the simpler Copernican principle, which states that there is no preferred ( or special ) observer or vantage point.

If a player is one point away from winning a match, that player's opponent will always want to double as early as possible in order to catch up.

If the holes are closed, the gas will only mix with ambient air at the point of combustion, that is, only after it has exited the tube at the top.

If the disease is completely asymptomatic ( i. e. there is a paraprotein and an abnormal bone marrow population but no end-organ damage ), as in smoldering myeloma, treatment is typically deferred, or restricted to clinical trials.

If hypertonic therapy continues or is too rapid, the extracellular tonicity will continue to drive water out of the brain's cells, leading to cellular dysfunction and the condition of central pontine myelinolysis.

If unregulated, this can contribute to mitochondrial swelling and dysfunction.

If a male has erectile dysfunction ( ED ) while awake, but has NPT episodes during REM, it would suggest that the ED is from a psychological rather than a physiological cause.

If M < sub > 1 </ sub > occurs slightly after T < sub > 1 </ sub >, then the patient likely has a dysfunction of conduction of the right side of the heart such as a right bundle branch block.

If this natural developmental pattern is disrupted due to environmental, emotional, or physical barriers ( e. g. if the child was raised in an orphanage or in a highly stressful environment, didn ’ t have the opportunity to move freely, or experienced brain trauma ), it can lead to learning disabilities, ADD, autism, social dysfunction, relative immaturity, and a sense of lonesomeness.

* If there is an underlying dysfunction of the endocrine or hormone system, the patient will likely be referred to an endocrinologist for further assessment.

If a goitre is present, thyroid function tests are performed to identify mild cases of thyroid dysfunction even if they are not yet causing symptoms.

If a patient is ataxic and Romberg's test is not positive, it suggests that ataxia is cerebellar in nature, that is, depending on localized cerebellar dysfunction instead.

If the DI is due to renal pathology, desmopressin does not change either urine output or osmolarity.

If the decrease in blood pressure is systemic ( rather than occlusion of the renal artery ) baroreceptors in the carotid sinus and aortic arch will be stimulated.

If renal glycosuria ( sugar excreted in the urine despite normal levels in the blood ) is suspected, urine samples may also be collected for testing along with the fasting and 2 hour blood tests.

If rhabdomyolysis is suspected, serum myoglobin, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, electrolytes and renal function will be checked.

* If compression is applied: a 10 minutes post-injection x-ray of the renal area is taken, followed by a KUB on release of the compression.

If renal impairment is found before administration of the contrast, metformin should be stopped 48 hours before and after the procedure.

If these levels are unavailable ( because the patient has been well and has had no blood tests ), it is occasionally necessary to treat a patient briefly as having ARF until it has been established that the renal impairment is irreversible.

If the patient has renal failure or cutaneous vasculitis, these are the most logical organs to obtain a biopsy from.

If the stenosis is longstanding and severe the GFR in the affected kidneys never increases again and ( prerenal ) renal failure is the result.

If your cat is on a special diet for pancreatitis, chronic renal failure, or any other condition, consult your vet for the appropriate diet for that condition plus diabetes.

If the mucosa of the sigmoid looks normal and pink, place a rectal tube for decompression, repair any fluid, electrolyte, cardiac, renal or pulmonary evaluation and repair, and then take the patient to the operating room for repair.

If the kidneys become significantly impaired or fail, then treatment must be begun to ensure continued survival, up to and including renal transplantation.

If inadequately treated, HG can cause renal failure, central pontine myelinolysis, coagulopathy, atrophy, Mallory-Weiss syndrome, hypoglycemia, jaundice, malnutrition, Wernicke's encephalopathy, pneumomediastinum, rhabdomyolysis, deconditioning, splenic avulsion, and vasospasms of cerebral arteries.

If the whale swam into deeper water it could take up to two days to die naturally from renal failure.
