  1. 6. Chest Injuries in Heavy Vehicle Frontal Collisions - Evaluation and Adaptation of the Hybrid III Dummy Instrumentation and Injury Reference Values by Means of Human Body Modeling

    Författare :Kristian Holmqvist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMOS2; Human Body Model; Hybrid III; Frontal Crash; Finite Element; THUMS; Injury Criterion; Heavy Vehicle;

    Sammanfattning : The safety of passenger cars has been significantly improved during the last decades. Similar improvements are not as apparent in heavy vehicles and one of the reasons is believed to be deficiencies in heavy vehicle crash testing and the tools used to evaluate the biomechanical responses.

  3. 7. Surgical Management of Rib Fractures Following Trauma

    Författare :Eva Corina Caragounis; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mechanism of Injury; Rib Fracture; Flail chest; Surgery; Mechanical Ventilator; Lung Function; Pain; Quality of Life;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Surgical management of chest wall injuries has received increasing attention in recent years. The aim of this thesis was to study the mechanism of injury (MOI) in relation to chest wall injury patterns and short- and long-term outcome of surgery in patients with multiple rib fractures and unstable thoracic cage injuries.

  4. 8. Lung and chest wall properties during mechanical ventilation

    Författare :Per Erik Persson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mechanical ventilation; Respiratory mechanics; Esophageal pressure; Positive end-expiratory pressure;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Mechanical ventilation causes injury to the lungs due to high pressures and high volumes. Pressure affecting the lungs, the transpulmonary pressure, needs to be monitored to minimise harmful side effects but then lung and chest wall mechanics need to be separately considered. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Longterm outcomes in patients with acute and chronic myocardial injury

    Författare :Erik Kadesjö; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Myocardial injury is defined as any cardiac troponin (cTn) level above the upper reference limit, namely, the 99th percentile value, and is caused by either ischemic or nonischemic events. The presence of acute myocardial injury (i.e. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Car-To-Car Side Impacts: Development and Validation of Mathematical Models and their Usability for Protective System Design

    Författare :Bengt Pipkorn; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dummy; injury criteria; padding; mathematical simulations; barrier; side impact; car; occupant; airbag;

    Sammanfattning : The objective of the present work was to develop and use mathematical models to establish principles for protective systems for occupants in car-to-car side impacts. The efforts in this work have concentrated on the protection of the thorax and abdomen since these body parts are most frequently injured in side impacts. LÄS MER
