  4. 2. Post-Cardiac Arrest Care : Therapeutic Hypothermia, Patient Outcomes and Relatives’ Experiences

    Author : Ing-Marie Larsson; Sten Rubertsson; Marja-Leena Kristofferzon; Jo Kramer-Johansen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac arrest; therapeutic hypothermia; prognostication; outcome; quality of life; relatives; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : The overall aim of the thesis was to study post-resuscitation care of cardiac arrest (CA) patients with a focus on therapeutic hypothermia treatment, outcomes up to six months post-CA and relatives’ experiences during the hospital stay.In Paper I, the aim was to asses effectiveness of hypothermia treatment with cold, 4°C, intravenous crystalloid infusion combined with ice packs.

  5. 3. Post Cardiac Arrest Care : Evaluation of prognostic tools, Patient outcomes and Relatives’ experiences at 6 months after the event

    Author : Ewa Wallin; Sten Rubertsson; Marja-Leena Kristofferzon; Silvana Naredi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac arrest; hypothermia; neurological outcome; cerebral oxygenation; MRI; relatives; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : The overall aim of the present thesis was to study post-resuscitation care of cardiac arrest (CA) patients treated with target temperature management 33°C with a focus on evaluation of two prognostic tools: variations in cerebral venous saturation and acute magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings on the brain post-CA. An additional aim was to investigate patients’ neurological outcome and relatives’ experiences 6 months after the event. READ MORE

  6. 4. Cardiac arrest - an epidemiologic perspective on pharmacotherapy and post resuscitation care

    Author : Andreas Lundin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac arrest; resuscitation; post-cardiac arrest care;

    Abstract : Background: Despite significant research and progress, cardiac arrest remains a condition with a high mortality rate, and few interventions have been demonstrated to improve outcomes in this patient group. Despite incorporation of adrenaline use in the treatment guidelines over several decades, its potential benefit remains uncertain. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cardiopulmonary bypass: Clinical studies in cardiac surgery patients

    Author : Mikael Barbu; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiopulmonary bypass; Cardiac surgery; Colloid; Prime; Acute kidney injury; Brain injury marker; Hemostasis;

    Abstract : BACKGROUND: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is necessary to facilitate most cardiac operations. Although the vast majority of patients tolerate CPB physiology in conjunction with cardiac surgery well, there is risks of adverse outcomes. Optimal CPB perfusion is not defined, and may vary according to operation and patient specific factors. READ MORE
