16. Cellular mechanisms of anaesthetic agents
Sammanfattning : Anaesthesia is given to approximate 5% of the Swedish population annually, with the great advantage of painless surgery, but it also has side effects such as depression of blood pressure that might give a heart infarction. Exactly how anaesthetic agents cause anaesthesia is poorly known. LÄS MER
17. Aspects of intravenous anaesthesia
Sammanfattning : Background:Developments in anaesthesia during the recent decades include new drugs with limited unwanted side effects and the need for anaesthesia in new interventions, together with new groups of patients that in the past were considered to be beyond help. Aims:Study I: To determine the bolus dose of remifentanil that depresses the ventilatory drive as deeply as 1 µg/kg of fentanyl. LÄS MER
18. A novel drug and device in anesthesia : with focus on breathing and upper airway physiology
Sammanfattning : Anesthesia-related airway complications are associated with hypoxia due to inability to secure or maintain the airway with subsequent insufficient ventilation and gas exchange. This thesis has explored the impact on airway integrity and respiratory regulation of two anesthetic compounds frequently used for sedation and a novel principle for oxygenation in patients at risk of hypoxia, in order to further improve patient safety during sedation and induction of anesthesia.

19. Pharmacometric Models in Anesthesia and Analgesia
Sammanfattning : Modeling is a valuable tool in drug development, to support decision making, improving study design, and aid in regulatory approval and labeling. This thesis describes the development of pharmacometric models for drugs used in anesthesia and analgesia. LÄS MER
20. Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist : from animal studies to clinical practice
Sammanfattning : Patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) undergoing ventilator treatment may experience asynchrony with the ventilator, which has been associated with increased need of sedation, sleep disruption, prolonged mechanical ventilation and unsuccessful weaning from the ventilator. The search for new strategies to improve patient-ventilator interaction is ongoing. LÄS MER
