1. 16. The heart in the critically ill patient- an echocardiographic study

   Författare :Lill Bergenzaun; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Echocardiography; shock; left ventricular function; biomarkers; and outcome;

   Sammanfattning : The thesis describes aspects of left ventricular systolic and diastolic function examined with echocardiography in patients with systemic inflammation and shock. Background: Myocardial depression is a well-known complication in critically ill patients with shock. LÄS MER

3. 17. Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Modeling of Antibiotics and Bacterial Drug Resistance

   Författare :Ami Fazlin Syed Mohamed; Lena Friberg; Teresa Dalla Costa; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmacometrics; pharmacokinetics; pharmacodynamics; modeling; antibiotics; resistance; combination; Gram-negative bacteria; gentamicin; colistin; meropenem; newborn infants; critically ill patients; Infectious Diseases; Infektionssjukdomar; Pharmaceutical Science; Farmaceutisk vetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Exposure to antibiotics is an important factor influencing the development of bacterial resistance.  In an era where very few new antibiotics are being developed, a strategy for the development of optimal dosing regimen and combination treatment that reduces the rate of resistance development and overcome existing resistance is of utmost importance.

4. 18. Novel biomarkers for detection of early acute kidney injury, renal recovery and bacterial infections in critically ill patients

   Författare :Niklas Jonsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Diagnosis of infection in the intensive care unit (ICU) is challenging because the signs and symptoms normally attributed to infection are quite common also in ICU patients without infection. This is a problem as delayed antibiotic therapy may increase the risk of organ failure and ultimately, death. LÄS MER

5. 19. Coagulation disturbances in the critically ill patient with special reference to prediction of outcome

   Författare :Gunnar Nilsson; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine human and vertebrates ; protein C; mortality; intensive care; health economics; global haemostatic tests; blood coagulation disorders; APC-PCI complex; abdominal aortic aneurysm operation; antithrombin; Medicin människa och djur ;

   Sammanfattning : Critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICU) often have coagulation disturbances. Clinical manifestations such as thromboembolism and/or bleeding may result from activation and consumption of coagulation factors and inhibitors. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a severe condition with an often-poor prognosis. LÄS MER

7. 20. Monitoring alveolar recruitment in the critically ill - Patient studies using electric impedance tomography and volume-dependent compliance

   Författare :Karin Lowhagen; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ALI; ARDS; compliance; end-expiratory lung volume; EELV; EIT; electric impedance tomography; lung recruitment; morbid obesity; PEEP; recruitment manoeuvre; regional ventilation; volume-dependent compliance;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are associated with a high mortality rate and poor long term outcome in terms of quality of life, for those who survive. Similarly, patients with morbid obesity are at risk for respiratory complications when subjected to anaesthesia and surgery. LÄS MER
