1. 1. Prolonged mechanical ventilation in Swedish intensive care units: patient characteristics, prevalence, weaning and challenges in care

   Författare :Carl-Johan Cederwall; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intensive care; mechanical ventilation; prolonged mechanical ventilation; ventilator weaning; nursing; person-centred care;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the care of adult patients on prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) in Swedish intensive care units (ICUs). Secondary aims were to identify the prevalence, characteristics and outcome in patients with PMV and the presence of person-centred care (PCC) during prolonged weaning in Swedish ICUs. Study I.

3. 2. Open lung concept in high risk anaesthesia : Optimizing mechanical ventilation in morbidly obese patients and during one lung ventilation with capnothorax

   Författare :Henrik Reinius; Filip Fredén; Johan Petersson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anaesthesia; mechanical ventilation; atelectasis; morbidly obese; one-lung ventilation; PEEP; recruitment maneuver; spirometry; EIT; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care;

   Sammanfattning : Formation of atelectasis, defined as reversible collapse of aerated lung, often occurs after induction of anaesthesia with mechanical ventilation. As a consequence, there is a risk for hypoxemia, altered hemodynamics and impaired respiratory system mechanics. LÄS MER

4. 3. Respiratory mechanics during mechanical ventilation in health and in disease

   Författare :Cecilia Svantesson; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Recruitment; Collapse; Overdistension; Viscoelasticity; Elastic pressure-volume curve; Respiratory disease; Health; Human; Rabbit; Positive end-expiratory pressure; Anaesthesiology; intensive care; Anestesiologi; intensivvård;

   Sammanfattning : The elastic pressure-volume (Pel-V) curve of the respiratory system can be used as a guide for improved ventilator management. It may indicate risks of lung damage associated with collapse or overdistension of lung units. LÄS MER

5. 4. Rendered rainscreen walls - cavity ventilation, ventilation drying and moisture-induced cladding deformation

   Författare :Jörgen Falk; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Sammanfattning : Over the past five years, moisture damages in external walls of wood frame structure and rendering on insulation as a cladding has been a widely debated subject which has received a lot of attention. In the light of this, the interest in an alternative construction method where rendering is applied on boards instead of insulation has increased. LÄS MER

7. 5. Studies of diaphragm fatigue and dysfunction

   Författare :Peter J Radell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Diaphragm function; contractility; fatigue; oxidative metabolism; 31phosphorus nuclear magnetic spectroscopy; ultrasonography; prolonged ventilation; compound muscle action potential; myopathy; electroneurography; muscle fiber; morphology.;

   Sammanfattning : Diaphragm fatigue and dysfunction are important components of acute and chronic respiratory pump failure. We lack knowledge about the nature of diaphragm fatigue and the pathophysiological and morphological changes that occur in the diaphragm after prolonged mechanical ventilation. This thesis studied two aspects of diaphragm function. LÄS MER
