  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

    Abstract : Background. A once commonly held belief was that surgery is too complicated, too expensive, and too ineffectively addressing a too minor proportion of the burden of disease to deserve priority in a setting of scarce healthcare resources in low- and middle-income countries. READ MORE

  5. 3. Groin hernia surgery : studies on anaesthesia and surgical technique

    Author : Pär Nordin; Leif Israelsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The modem era of groin hernia surgery began with Eduardo Bassini who in the late 19th century, developed the first modem anatomically based hernia repair. Surgical technique, anaesthesia, suture and biomaterials have been matters of discussion ever since. READ MORE

    Abstract : Paediatric regional anaesthesia has gained widespread popularity during recent years because of an excellent potential for intra- and postoperative pain relief and reduction of the surgically induced stress response. The aim of the present thesis was to adapt and develop the technique of paravertebral blockade (PVB) for the safe use in paediatric patients and also to investigate aspects on plasma protein binding and toxicity of local anaesthetic drugs which might be of importance in the special settings of paediatric anaesthesia.
