  1. 6. The role of the endothelin system in experimental acute lung injury : with special reference to the formation of extra-vascular lung water

    Författare :Patrik Rossi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Acute lung injury; endothelin-1; extra-vascular lung water; pulmonary capillary pressure; sepsis; pulmonary edema; endotoxin;

    Sammanfattning : Acute lung injury is a major clinical challenge in the intensive care unit. Sepsis is the most frequent underlying cause of this pulmonary syndrome, which contains inflammation-induced diffuse alveolar damage and early stage high permeability edema. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Inverse ration ventilation : experimental studies on pulmonary integrity and gas exchange

    Författare :Ulf Ludwigs; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :respiration; artificial gas exchange lung function acute respiratory distress syndromeacute lung injury inverse ratio ventilation ventilator induced lung injury intrinsic PEEP lungclearance;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, pulmonary and circulatory effects of inverse ratio ventilation (IRV) have been studied experimentally. Comparisons have been made between volume and pressure controlled IRV and conventional ventilation under conditions of equal minute ventilation and end-expiratory alveolar pressure levels. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis we explore and further develop several techniques used in the animal laboratory as well as in the clinical setting. In particular, we expand the understanding and usefulness of plethysmographic techniques in small rodents. LÄS MER

  5. 9. New modes of improving ventilation and oxygenation in pulmonary hypertension and acute respiratory failure in newborns and children

    Författare :Sylvia Göthberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Inhaled nitric oxide; high frequency oscillatory ventilation; partial liquid ventilation; respiratory inductive plethysmography; follow-up study; pulmonary hypertension; congenital heart disease; acute respiratory failure; respiratory distress syndrome; persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn.;

    Sammanfattning : Pulmonary hypertension leading to hypoxemia is a potentially life-threatening condition in pediatric intensive care. Hypoxemia may also result from conditions not primarily related to pulmonary hypertension. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Medical screening in dental settings

    Författare :Göran Friman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Findings have shown medical screening in dental settings to be cost-effective by achieving both financial savings and health benefits. The general purpose of this thesis was to study the possibility of early identification of individuals with undiagnosed diseases in a cooperative effort between dentistry and healthcare. LÄS MER
