Individuals with MCADD should have an " emergency letter " that allows medical staff who are unfamiliar with the patient and the condition to administer correct treatment properly in the event of acute decompensation.

This concerned the healing of the infant Eric Catania ( b . 2002 ) from mironodular infantile cirrhosis with acute liver decompensation in addition to ascites and cholestasis and hypocoagulation on 24 July 2001 in London.
23.
Adequate rate control ( usually with a pharmacological agent that slows down AV conduction such as a calcium channel blocker or a beta-blocker ) is, therefore, of key importance to preventing acute decompensation.
24.
Oprelvekin also has caused quite often fluid retention, ranging from peripheral edema ( approximately 40 % of patients ) to dyspnea and full developed lung edema with or without cardiac decompensation ( see contraindications and precautions ).
25.
Eventually ( typically after a latency period ) the left ventricle will become decompensated, and filling pressures will increase . Some individuals enter this decompensated phase asymptomatically, treatment for AI involves aortic valve replacement prior to this decompensation phase.
26.
It is indicated when parenteral therapy is necessary for inotropic support in the short-term treatment of patients with cardiac decompensation due to depressed contractility, which could be the result of either organic heart disease or cardiac surgical procedures.
27.
:Bacterial endotoxin released when the bacteria are lysed by the immune system, and bacterial exotoxin released by the bacteria themselves probably play a big role in the rapid decompensation ( septic shock ) that is sometimes seen in people with bacterial illnesses.
28.
The main side effect of all thiazolidinediones is water retention, leading to edema, generally a problem in less than 5 % of individuals, but a big problem for some and potentially, with significant water retention, leading to a decompensation of potentially previously unrecognized heart failure.
29.
The U . S . label for dronedarone includes a boxed warning, stating that dronedarone is contraindicated in patients with NYHA Class IV heart failure, with NYHA Class II III heart failure with a recent decompensation requiring hospitalization or referral to a specialized heart failure clinic, or with permanent atrial fibrillation ."
30.
The introduction of screening for fatty acid oxidation disorders has been shown to have reduced morbidity and mortality associated with the conditions, particularly MCADD . An Australian study found a 74 % reduction in episodes of severe metabolic decompensation or death among individuals identified by newborn screening as having MCADD versus those who presented clinically prior to screening.
