  2. 1. Responsiveness of human circulating phagocytes in relation to the inflammatory condition

    Author : Lena Wehlin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : CABG; COPD; CPB; flow cytometry; inflammation; leukocyte; responsiveness;

    Abstract : In the early stages of the inflammatory process, monocytes and granulocytes constitute important effector cells that must function correctly in order to clear infection. By activating leukocytes in vitro it is possible to mimic the in vivo activation of these cells and study their activation potential. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cardiopulmonary bypass and the kidney - studies on patients undergoing cardiac surgery

    Author : Lukas Lannemyr; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac surgery; cardiopulmonary bypass; glomerular filtration rate; renal blood flow; renal oxygenation; tubular injury; N-acetyl-ß-D-glucoseaminidase;

    Abstract : Acute kidney injury is a common complication after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and has a major impact on morbidity, mortality and costs. The mechanism of CPB-related renal impairment is not fully understood. READ MORE

  5. 3. 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

  6. 4. Atelectasis and gas exchange impairment after cardiopulmonary bypass : An experimental study

    Author : Lennart Magnusson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Lung: cardiopulmonary bypass; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Physiology; klinisk fysiologi;

    Abstract : Despite of the improvement in management and equipment for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), postoperative pulmonary complications remain a major problem after cardiac surgery. In the present thesis, using a pig model, atelectasis has been tested as a cause of the increase in intrapulmonary shunt commonly seen after CPB. READ MORE

  7. 5. Endothelial dysfunction in the pulmanory circulation after cardiopulmonary bybass : with special reference to the reactivity to acetylcholine

    Author : Monika Angdin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Acetylcholine; acetylcysteine; allopurinol; antioxidants; cardiopulmonary bypass; heart surgery; L-arginine; nitric oxide; pulmonary circulation; reperfusion injury; vascular resistance; vitamin C; vitamin E.;

    Abstract : The endothelium is important as a physical barrier between the bloodstream and the body tissues. It also plays an important role in the control of vasomotor tone, coagulation, and for the interaction between the vessel wall, leukocytes and platelets. One of the most important regulators released from the endothelium is nitric oxide (NO). READ MORE
