41. Aspects on ventilation induced stress and strain on regional and global inflammation in experimental acute respiratory distress syndrome
Sammanfattning : Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a life-saving therapy in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a condition that affects 3000 patients/year in Sweden with a mortality rate of about 40%. However, MV may induce or worsen lung injury causing “ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI)”. LÄS MER
42. Development of multi-cellular human lung models to study inflammatory mechanisms and cell-cell interactions
Sammanfattning : It is well known that exposure to toxicants in the environment is associated with a wide range of health effects. The airway epithelium which forms the first line of defense, plays critical roles in the defence against inhaled particles, pathogens and toxic agents. LÄS MER
43. Inverse ration ventilation : experimental studies on pulmonary integrity and gas exchange
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
44. Adjuvant therapies to fluid resuscitation in experimental sepsis : Intervention studies in models of ARDS and peritonitis
Sammanfattning : Fluid resuscitation is essential to antagonize the deleterious effects of tissue hypo-perfusion in sepsis. If not thoroughly monitored and individually tailored, fluid therapy increases the risk of volume overload. Volume overload is associated with higher mortality in sepsis. LÄS MER
45. Functional residual capacity – development of new monitoring techniques for critically ill patients
Sammanfattning : Functional residual capacity (FRC) and end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) are important parameters for respiratory monitoring in critically ill adult and paediatric patients. Until now we have lacked clinically useful methods to measure these lung volumes. LÄS MER
