  2. 1. Premedication for intubation in newborn infants; pain assessment, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics

    Author : Elisabeth Norman; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Premedication; pain; premature; newborn; aEEG; randomized controlled trial; thiopental; morphine; remifentanil; rapid sequence induction; ibntubation; pharmacokinetics; pharmacodynamics;

    Abstract : Preterm infants undergo intensive care during a vulnerable period with hemodynamic instability and a rapidly developing and immature CNS. Adequate pain management is essential, since pain experience might lead to acute physiological reactions as well as neurological and neuropsychological sequels. READ MORE

  4. 2. Background aEEG/EEG measures in very preterm infants : Relation to physiology and outcome

    Author : Sverre Wikström; Lena Hellström-Westas; Ingmar Rosén; Andrew Whitelaw; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Electroencephalography; brain damage; prediction; interburst interval; Neurodevelopmental impairment; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to characterize single-channel aEEG/EEG, recorded during the first postnatal days in preterm infants, in relation to brain function and two-year outcome. Study I investigated if aEEG/EEG was associated with neonatal brain injury, inflammation and outcome in 16 very preterm (VPT) infants. READ MORE

  5. 3. Cardiac arrest and therapeutic hypothermia: Prognosis and outcome

    Author : Malin Rundgren; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hypothermia; NSE; S-100B; EEG; cardiac arrest; prognosis;

    Abstract : Abstract Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the only treatment available to reduce neurological sequels for unconscious patients following cardiac arrest (CA). TH requires sedation and muscular relaxation, obscuring the clinical neurological examination for estimation of prognosis, and clinical decision making. READ MORE

  6. 4. Long-term outcome after hypothermia-treated hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy

    Author : Katarina Robertsson Grossmann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a major cause of acquired brain injury in newborn infants. It is a potentially life-threatening condition that leaves survivors at substantial risk of life-long debilitating sequelae including cerebral palsy, epilepsy, intellectual disability, sensory disruption, behavioural issues, executive difficulties and autism spectrum disorder.

  7. 5. Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy : diagnosis, hypothermia treatment and outcome

    Author : Boubou Hallberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Hypothermia treatment (HT) is now proven to be neuroprotective, is associated with favourable outcomes, and is considered as the standard of care for moderate to severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). The treatment should be regionalized with a minimum of ten treated infants per year with regard to securing patient safety, staff training, development and future research. READ MORE
