  2. 21. Epidemiology and emergency cardiac care services for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Qatar

    Author : Furqan Bin Irfan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a common cause of cardiac emergency and death. Worldwide, there is wide variation in epidemiology and survival of OHCA. Racial and ethnic disparities are important contributors towards such variation. READ MORE

  4. 22. Regional ventilation, pulmonary perfusion and gas exchange in supine and prone positions

    Author : Margareta Mure; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ARDS; ALI; CPAP; Gas exchange; Prone position; Regional ventilation; Regional perfusion; Supine position;

    Abstract : The rationale for treating patients with acute lung injury in the prone position springs from a number of observations. Clinical reports have documented improved oxygenation when patients are turned prone. Regional vascular conductance is higher in dorsal lung regions regardless of posture. READ MORE

  5. 23. Studies of ischemia and reperfusion in muscle and liver on glutathione and amino acid metabolism in man

    Author : Bo Westman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Oxidative stress increases the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can induce damage and breakdown of enzymes and lipoproteins. This leads to impaired cellular function and ultimately to death of cells and eventually organ failure. ROS are thought to be responsible for the damage during reperfusion following ischemia.

  6. 24. Fluid resuscitation in controlled and uncontrolled hemorrhage

    Author : Louis Riddez; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: For many years, early intravenous fluid resuscitation has been widely accepted as an appropriate treatment of the trauma patient at the scene of the injury, regardless of the type of trauma and hemorrhage. The present Thesis describes the effects of fluid resuscitation on the hemodynamics in the presence of a limited controlled hemorraghe and also particularly in the situation when the bleeding is uncontrolled.

  7. 25. Experimental studies on Damage Control Surgery and Intraabdominal Hypertension

    Author : Pia Olofsson; Thore Wikström; Kenth Johansson; Sten Lennquist; Fikri M Abu-Zidan; Louis Riddez; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Damage control surgery (DCS) offers an alternative to the traditional surgical management of complex or multiple injuries in critically injured patients. If a patient survives the initial phase of DCS, complications may occur, one of these being intraabdominal hypertension (IAH) and it´s potential development into the abdominal compartment syndrome.
