1. Circulatory Failure and Outcome in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Sammanfattning : Circulatory failure is considered one of the entities of the post cardiac arrest syndrome contributing to poor outcome. It is reported at 15-70% of all patients successfully resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). LÄS MER
2. Mechanical Circulatory Support in Left Ventricular Heart Failure
Sammanfattning : Short-term mechanical circulatory support (MCS) with ventricular assist devices or veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) has become the standard treatment in patients with cardiogenic shock unresponsive to pharmacological treatment. However, the haemodynamic effects of these devices are not yet fully described, nor are their effects on ventricular function and myocardial recovery. LÄS MER
3. Aspects of circulatory failure in respiratory extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Sammanfattning : Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) was developed in the seventies for the intended use of supporting respiratory failure. Today ECMO has become a well-established treatment for patients with both respiratory and circulatory failure where conventional intensive care is inadequate. LÄS MER
4. Mechanical circulatory support in patients with severe heart failure
Sammanfattning : Severe heart failure has a poor prognosis. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is capable of assisting the circulation in selected patients to bridge them to heart transplantation or recovery of heart function. MCS is manufactured in short-term or long-term designs. LÄS MER
5. Management of patients treated with left ventricular assist devices : A clinical and experimental study
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the management of patients treated with mechanical circulatory support devices for short- or long-term use. Twenty-four patients suffering from postcardiotomy heart failure were treated with a minimally invasive axial flow pump. LÄS MER
