6. Coronary angiography after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
Sammanfattning : Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a common cause of death with a survival rate of 10% in Sweden. The chance of survival depends on rapid recognition, high quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation and post-resuscitation care including searching and treating the cause of the arrest. LÄS MER
7. Post-Cardiac Arrest Care : Therapeutic Hypothermia, Patient Outcomes and Relatives’ Experiences
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of the thesis was to study post-resuscitation care of cardiac arrest (CA) patients with a focus on therapeutic hypothermia treatment, outcomes up to six months post-CA and relatives’ experiences during the hospital stay.In Paper I, the aim was to asses effectiveness of hypothermia treatment with cold, 4°C, intravenous crystalloid infusion combined with ice packs.

8. Cardiac Arrest – mechanical chest compressions, gender differences and coronary angiography
Sammanfattning : Cardiac arrest is a major health problem with over 6000 cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and 2500 cases of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) per year in Sweden. Survival are low. Many factors affect the chances of survival, including effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation and optimal post resuscitation care. LÄS MER
9. Mechanical chest compressions and gender differences in out-of-hospital-cardiac-arrest
Sammanfattning : Paper I and II. Both early defibrillation and high quality chest compressions are affecting the chances of survival after cardiac arrest (CA). Manual chest compressions delivers only approximately 30% of normal cardiac output and is further deteriorating during transport. LÄS MER
10. Assessment of the Cerebral Ischemic/Reperfusion Injury after Cardiac Arrest
Sammanfattning : The cerebral damage after cardiac arrest is thought to arise both from the ischemia during the cardiac arrest but also during reperfusion. It is the degree of cerebral damage which determines the outcome in patients. This thesis focuses on the cerebral damage after cardiac arrest. LÄS MER
