6. Pathophysiological and Histomorphological Effects of One-Lung Ventilation in the Porcine Lung
Sammanfattning : Thoracic surgical procedures require partial or complete airway separation and the opportunity to exclude one lung from ventilation (one-lung ventilation, OLV). OLV is commonly associated with profound pathophysiological changes that may affect the postoperative outcome. LÄS MER
7. The Immune Response to One-Lung Ventilation : Clinical and Experimental Studies
Sammanfattning : One-lung ventilation (OLV) as an established procedure during thoracic surgery may be injurious in terms of increased mechanical stress characterised by alveolar cell stretch and overdistension, increased cyclic tidal recruitment of alveolar units, compression of alveolar vessels and increased pulmonary vascular resistance. This may result in ventilation-induced lung injury with pro-inflammatory cytokine production, leukocyte recruitment and neutrophil-dependent tissue destruction. LÄS MER
8. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy - Effects on Sternotomy Wounds and the Intrathoracic Organs
Sammanfattning : Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has been widely adopted for the treatment of deep sternal wound infections due to its excellent clinical outcome. However, the mechanisms of action and effects on hemodynamics have not been thoroughly elucidated. LÄS MER
9. Gas Embolism in Laparoscopic Liver Surgery
Sammanfattning : Laparoscopic liver surgery is complicated due to the structure of this organ with open sinusoids. A serious disadvantage is the risk of gas embolism (GE) due to CO2 pneumoperitoneum. CO2 can enter the vascular system through a wounded vein. A common opinion is that gas fluxes along a pressure gradient, e. LÄS MER
10. Carbon dioxide de-airing in cardiac surgery
Sammanfattning : Background: The risks connected with the presence of air microemboli in open-heart surgery, have recently been emphasized by reports that their number is correlated with the degree of postoperative neuropsychological disorder. Insufflation of carbon dioxide (C02) into the chest wound is used in open-heart surgery to de-air the heart and great vessels. LÄS MER
