11. Muscle Wasting in a Rat ICU Model : Underlying Mechanisms and Specific Intervention Strategies
Sammanfattning : Critical care has undergone several developments in the recent years leading to improved survival. However, acquired muscle weakness in the intensive care unit (ICU) is an important complication that affects severely ill patients and can prolong their ICU stay. LÄS MER
12. The Intensive Care Unit syndrome/delirium, patients' perspective and clinical signs
Sammanfattning : When a person becomes critically ill, injured and/or undergoes major surgery and requires intensive care, a complex dilemma can arise. The condition of the illness, the specific caring situation and the environment lead to significant changes and effects in the senses and perceptional abilities. LÄS MER
13. ICU prognostication: Time to re-evaluate? Register-based studies on improving prognostication for patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU)
Sammanfattning : Background: ICU prognostication is difficult because of patients’ prior comorbidities and their varied reasons for admission. The model used for ICU prognostication in Sweden is the Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3 (SAPS 3), which uses information gathered within one hour of ICU admission to predict 30-day mortality.

In particular, little is known about the active and evolving interplay between supervisors guiding groups and the learners’ progress in becoming a team in their collaborative work in patient care.

15. Long-term follow-up after intensive care: Development of an ICU-specific questionnaire
Sammanfattning : Background: With improved results in intensive care comes a shift in focus – from survival to survivorship. Studies show that ICU survivorship includes effects on, for example, mental and physical health, cognition, ADL, ability to return to work, and sensory organ functions. LÄS MER
