  2. 1. Blood pressure-dependent changes in plasma volume, glycocalyx and platelet function during anaesthesia -Clinical and experimental studies

    Author : Tor Damén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; anaesthesia; blood pressure; hypotension; norepinephrine; haematocrit; plasma volume; atrial natriuretic peptide; glycocalyx; platelet aggregation;

    Abstract : Background: Worldwide, more than 300 million surgeries are performed each year. General anaesthesia provides the surgical patient with a state of controlled loss of sensation and awareness. It is common that general anaesthesia causes hypotension. Anaesthesia-induced hypotension is associated with haemodilution and increased plasma volume (PV). READ MORE

  4. 2. The Microcirculation in Trauma and Sepsis

    Author : Peter Bansch; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; microcirculation; prostacyclin; plasma vilume; trauma; sepsis; sidestream darkfield imaging; albumin; volume expansion; transcapillary escape rate; glycocalyx; charge;

    Abstract : The microcirculation plays a vital part for fluid-, gas- and solute-exchange, and changes in permeability during trauma or sepsis, that are in part necessary for the natural healing process, may also cause hypovolemia and edema formation, leading to disturbances in microvascular exchange. This thesis discusses changes is microvascular flow, permeability and plasma volume (PV) loss after experimental or surgical trauma and experimental sepsis. READ MORE

  5. 3. Membrane emulsification: modelling interfacial and geometric effects on droplet size

    Author : Marilyn Rayner; Livsmedelsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pore geometry; membrane emulsification; Gases; Surface Evolver; fluid dynamics; plasmas; Gaser; fluiddynamik; plasma; Chemical technology and engineering; Kemiteknik och kemisk teknologi; Food and drink technology; modelling; Livsmedelsteknik;

    Abstract : Emulsification is an important unit operation used in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industry. Membrane emulsification is a relatively new membrane technology which allows the production of emulsion droplets under controlled conditions with a narrow droplet size distribution. READ MORE

  6. 4. Blood volume expansion following supramaximal exercise : occurrence and contribution to maximal oxygen uptake

    Author : Mirko Mandić; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Previously published research using various types of exercise has shown that central hemodynamic factors such as blood volume (BV) and maximal cardiac output (Qmax) are of large importance in the mediation of improvements in VO2max. Whether this is true for adaptations induced by sprint-interval training (SIT) is unclear. READ MORE

  7. 5. Volume kinetics of glucose solutions given by intravenous infusion

    Author : Fredrik Sjöstrand; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Volume kinetics; osmosis; dehydration; rehydration; glucose solutions; glucose; hypovolemia; hypoglycemia; fluids; intravenous fluid therapy; fluid shifts; plasma volume; dilution; plasma dilution; intracellular hydration; central volume.;

    Abstract : Fluid therapy is often cumbersome to plan since the distribution and the elimination of the administered solution are difficult to analyze in the clinical setting. The knowledge of the adequate rate and dose for each individual patient and under various physiological conditions would be very attractive to obtain in order to avoid fluid overload and hyperglycemia.
