  2. 1. Lung aeration and pulmonary gas exchange during general and epidural anaesthesia : Influenced by inspired oxygen concentration and diaphragm shape

    Author : Adrian Reber; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Anesthesia: epidural; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Physiology; klinisk fysiologi;

    Abstract : Induction of general anaesthesia causes a rapid decrease in functional residual capacity, which can promote alveolar collapse (atelectasis) and airway closure in dependent lung regions. Mismatching of ventilation and perfusion (VA/Q) in the lungs is accompanied by impairment of pulmonary gas exchange. READ MORE

  4. 2. Pediatric caudal anesthesia with reference to spread and intracranial effects

    Author : Paul Castillo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Caudal anesthesia is, since 1933, the most common regional anesthetic technique used in children and has hitherto been described as a safe and straightforward method. Recent research has shown that a high-dose (1. READ MORE

  5. 3. Clonidine in pediatric anesthesia : aspects on population pharmacokinetics, nasal administration and safety

    Author : Peter Larsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Clonidine is widely use as premedication in pediatric patients and has many beneficial effects in the perioperative period. The introduction of population pharmacokinetics in the 1980s has proven useful when performing pharmacokinetic studies in children to circumvent previous limitations with traditional pharmacokinetics.

  6. 4. Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia in children and adults: aspects on central and peripheral blocks

    Author : Märit Lundblad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The universal use of regional anesthesia has previously been hampered by fundamental factors, e.g. excessive failure rates, inability to detected anatomical variations and fear for unintentional tissue damage; all due to the inherent imprecision of previous localization techniques.

  7. 5. Intravenous morphine after gynecological surgery : pain relief, endocrine and immune respone

    Author : Marianne Eriksson-Mjöberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Anaesthesia: general; epidural. Postoperative pain: PCA; morphine; bupivacaine. Hormones: adrenocortical steroids; estrogens. Immune response: Interleukin-6.;

    Abstract : Background: We need more efficient methods to alleviate postoperative pain and reduce endocrine / immune stress response. Subjects and methods: Patient controlled analgesia (PCA) with iv morphine was evaluated with respect to pain relief and endocrine / immune response to surgical trauma in 130 patients undergoing gynecological surgery.
