1. Lung volumes and lung mechanics in anesthetized children
Sammanfattning : The thesis was intended to fill gaps in the knowledge regarding the normal development of lung volumes and lung mechanics in children, from young infancy to the mid-teens. In particular, data were previously lacking regarding pre-school children. The studies were done during anesthesia and muscle relaxation. LÄS MER
2. Transpulmonary pressure during mechanical ventilation
Sammanfattning : Background: Mechanical ventilation can aggravate lung injury by repetitive opening and closing of lung units, overdistention and undue pressure on pulmonary structures. Guidelines exist for lung protective ventilation, but individualized ventilator settings, based on partitioning of respiratory mechanics in pulmonary and chest wall complex components, would be beneficial.

3. Ergonomics of Breathing Apparatus, with Special Reference to Work of Breathing, Dead Space and Breathing Resistance
Sammanfattning : A breathing apparatus is a very useful device. It allows people to breathe relatively freely while entering environments that otherwise would be impenetrable such as extreme altitudes, smoke filled buildings, ocean depths and the surface of the moon. However, a breathing apparatus does have some disadvantages. LÄS MER
4. Lung and chest wall properties during mechanical ventilation
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. Airway hyperresponsiveness and viral recognizing toll-like receptors
Sammanfattning : Common colds caused by viruses are, in healthy individuals, usually self-limited and with relatively mild symptoms. In asthmatic individuals, respiratory viruses can burst the defense immune system and trigger asthma exacerbations, including causing airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). LÄS MER
