    Sammanfattning : Do people with long-term tracheostomy need hospital care? Which cleaning method is most appropriate for decontamination of inner cannulae? Are tracheostomy tubes changed for rational reasons? There is clearly a lack of evidence based research in this field and the clinical guidelines available are often based on local practice. A tracheostomy is a created opening in trachea to facilitate breathing. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Antimicrobial Polymer Composites for Medical Applications

    Författare :Peter Kaali; Sigbritt Karlsson; Ferruccio Doghieri; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; medical polymers; antimicrobial; body fluids; degradation; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Sammanfattning : The current study and discuss the long-term properties of biomedical polymers in vitro and invivo and presents means to design and manufacture antimicrobial composites. Antimicrobialcomposites with reduced tendency for biofilm formation should lead to lower risk for medicaldevice associated infection. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Upper airway surgery in obstructive sleep apnoea : descriptive, observational and randomised controlled studies

    Författare :Nanna Browaldh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is a general health problem which causes daytime sleepiness, impaired quality of life and increased morbidity and mortality. A narrow upper airway anatomy is a common cause of OSAS, and tracheostomy was the initial surgical treatment for OSAS. LÄS MER
