  2. 1. S100B and Cardiac Surgery

    Author : Henrik Bjursten; Thoraxkirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; S100-B; S100B; S100beta; brain damage; cardiac surgery; CABG; renal function; autotransfusion; Cardiovascular system; serum marker; Kardiovaskulära systemet;

    Abstract : The brain-derived protein S100B is a 21 Kda dimerand have been used as a serum marker for brain damage of different etiology. The feasability of protein S100B as serum marker for brain damage after cardiac surgery was studied in this thesis. One unexpected finding was made, which changed the basis for interpration of S100B levels. READ MORE

  4. 2. Aspects on the cytokine load in trauma with special reference to blood components and local versus systemic cytokine activity

    Author : Marianne Kristiansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Autotransfusion Coagulation Cytokines Cytokine inhibitors Fibrinolysis Infection Red blood cell concentrates Surgery Trauma. Stockholm 1997;

    Abstract : Cytokines and their inhibitors are thought to be involved in many of the pathophysiological changes associated with trauma and infection. Therapeutic measures such as transfusion of blood components could have a bearing on the systemic cytokine load in these conditions. READ MORE

  5. 3. Perioperative blood saving techniques with coagulative evaluation in orthopedic surgery

    Author : Gustav Ekbäck; Anders Bengtsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Allogeneic blood transfusion, although often needed in major surgery with large per-and postoperative bleeding, is fraught with dangers such as clerical mishandling, immunosuppression and blood-borne infections. It is therefore important to find ways to avoid allogeneic blood transfusion by means of less bleeding, better tolerance of the bleeding or alternatives to allogeneic blood. READ MORE

  6. 4. Fat contamination of pericardial suction blood in cardiac surgery : clinical and experimental studies in perspectives of transfusion logistics

    Author : Micael Appelblad; Gunnar Engström; Krister Lindmark; Anders Jeppsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Surgery; blood transfusion; cardiopulmonary bypass; pericardial suction blood; fat contamination; lipid microemboli; density separation; surface adsorption; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : Introduction: During cardiac surgery aided by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) the autotransfusion of pericardial suction blood (PSB) is regarded mandatory to limit allogeneic blood exposure. PSB is however proposed as a source of lipid microemboli and to contribute to brain damage. READ MORE

  7. 5. 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.
