This reflex results in regulation of blood pressure, especially if it is highly elevated or severely depressed; however, the reflex is usually elicited in systolic blood pressures over 150–170 mmHg; the other part of the reflex is not often seen when the systolic blood pressure is below 50–60 mmHg. However, in patients with underlying hypertension or atherosclerosis or in the elderly, the reflex thresholds might be altered, and at times, the reflex would not be seen partially or totally.

Bainbridge reflex was described first in 1915 by Francis Bainbridge (English physiologist, 1874–1921). He discovered and demonstrated that “saline or blood infusion into the jugular vein of the anesthetized dog” would result in reflex tachycardia. This reflex is also called the “atrial reflex” and involves increased heart rate in response to dilation of “the main systemic veins, left and right atrium.

Medical management of hormonal disturbances is clinically challenging. Many patients benefit from subcutaneous implanted pellet therapy that provides continuous, predictable release of supplemental hormones that cannot be taken orally or that are not otherwise easy to manage.

All modes will require setting positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP ). PEEP represents the lowest airway pressure that the lung will be allowed to fall to on end exhalation. It is commonly misunderstood as pushing air back into the lung on exhalation, when in fact it is more akin to providing a bottom limit to the decline in airway pressure. PEEP allows more alveoli to remain open at the end of a breath.

Based on their mechanism of action, the Antiplatelet Agents could be classified as follows: Salicylic acid family including aspirin and triflusal. Aspirin is an irreversible cyclooxygenase inhibitor (inhibition of COX-1 and COX-2 activity). Triflusal (Disgren®) is a salicylate, which blocks cyclooxygenase and phosphodiesterase and also preserves vascular prostacyclin.
