1. Birth asphyxia : Fetal scalp blood sampling and risk factors for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy
Sammanfattning : Preventing birth asphyxia is a major challenge in delivery care. The aims of this thesis were to evaluate fetal scalp blood sampling (FBS) and explore risk factors for moderate to severe neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). LÄS MER
2. Surviving Birth and Thriving : Identifying infants at risk of death and disability in low- and middle-income countries
Sammanfattning : Background: Ending preventable newborn deaths is an unfinished global health agenda. Infants surviving birth have a right to thrive and to reach their full developmental potential. LÄS MER
3. Perinatal brain injury - markers and mediators. Non-protein-bound iron and pro-inflammatory cytokines in newborn infants and neonatal pigs
Sammanfattning : Two groups of newborn infants have an increased risk for perinatal brain injury; preterm infants and term infants subjected to birth asphyxia. Experimental studies indicate that hypoxic-ischemic insults in the perinatal period initiate a secondary neurotoxic cascade including formation of toxic reactive oxygen species as well as an inflammatory response with elevated levels of potentially neurotoxic cytokines.

4. Neonatal resuscitation - studies in piglets
Sammanfattning : Background and aims: “It’s best to start with air” states the current guidelines on the resuscitation of babies at birth. In a piglet model mimicking severe neonatal asphyxia and circulatory arrest, different aspects of resuscitation were investigated (studies I-III). LÄS MER
5. Fetal reactivity assessment during intrapartum stress by analysis of the fetal ECG signal
Sammanfattning : Fetal responses to the stress of labour and delivery are constituted by a combination of changes in neuronal, hormonal and organ based reactions. The aim of electronic fetal monitoring is to identify fetuses at risk of hypoxia during birth, thus enabling timely intervention to avoid an adverse outcome. LÄS MER
