1. 11. Vasopressors and intestinal mucosal perfusion. Studies in cardiac surgical and critically ill patients

   Författare :Andreas Nygren; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : During trauma, surgery and critically illness, splanchnic ischemia and reperfusion damage maythreaten the barrier function of the intestinal mucosa, leading to bacterial translocation, immuneactivation and subsequent development of systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Detection,prevention and treatment of intestinal mucosal hypoperfusion are therefore important forprevention of complications in critically ill patients. LÄS MER

3. 12. Muscle function in the critically ill : clinical and experimental investigations

   Författare :Karsten Ahlbeck; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : It is common that critically ill patients develop muscle weakness in the intensive care unit (ICU), not only delaying mobilisation and increasing the risk of co-morbidities, but also prolonging rehabilitation after hospital care. The aim of this thesis was to describe the diagnosis, time course and possible risk factors for this weakness. LÄS MER

4. 13. Pharmacometrics to characterize innate immune response and antibacterial treatments

   Författare :Anders Thorsted; Lena E. Friberg; Elisabet I. Nielsen; Mats O. Karlsson; Gauri G. Rao; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pharmacometrics; non-linear mixed effects modelling; modelling; pharmacokinetics; pharmacodynamics; pkpd; antibiotics; cefuroxime; piperacillin; phagocytes; lipopolysaccharide; endotoxin; porcine endotoxemia; challenge studies; sepsis; critically ill; Farmaceutisk vetenskap; Pharmaceutical Science;

   Sammanfattning : The immune system protects the host against pathogens by distinguishing self from non-self. However, it is most-often disregarded in pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PKPD) characterization of (new and old) antibiotics. LÄS MER

5. 14. Weaning from mechanical ventilation – from the patient, next-of-kin and healthcare professionals’ perspective

   Författare :Catarina Tingsvik; Jan Mårtensson; Fredrik Hammarskjöld; Maria Henricson; Anna Forsberg; Jönköping University; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Intensive care; caring; patients; family; nurses; physicians; mechanical ventilation; ventilator weaning; person-centred care; qualitative research method;

   Sammanfattning : Critically ill patients with failing respiratory and vital body functions might need invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). When the patient’s condition improves, the need for respiratory support decreases and weaning from IMV begins. LÄS MER

7. 15. A room designed for caring : Experiences from an evidence-based designed intensive care environment

   Författare :Fredrika Sundberg; Maria Henricson; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intensive care units; critical care; caring; hospital design and construction; evidence-based facility design; built environment; health facility environment; patient rooms; critical illness; patients; family; nurses; Människan i vården; The Human Perspective in Care;

   Sammanfattning : Aim: The overall aim of this doctoral thesis was to examine and evaluate if and how an intensive care unit (ICU) room, which had been designed using the principles of evidence-based design (EBD), impacted the safety, wellbeing and caring for patients, their family members and staff.Methods: Paper I explored the nursing staff experiences of working in an EBD intensive care patient room through 13 interviews that were analysed by qualitative content analysis.
