  2. 21. Cerebral mechanisms in cardiovascular control : studies on haemorrhage and effects of sodium

    Author : Robert Frithiof; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis describes experiments investigating the influence of the brain on cardiovascular adaptations to haemorrhage and excess sodium in conscious chronically prepared sheep. A continuous reduction in blood volume eventually activates a reflex that causes a fall in vascular resistance and heart rate and thereby also in arterial blood pressure. READ MORE

  4. 22. Hypoxia and auto resuscitation in the neonatal rodent with special reference to the sympatho-adrenal system

    Author : Shi-Zeng Yuan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : adrenal medulla; apnea; asphyxia; autoresuscitation; catecholamines; SIDS;

    Abstract : Preterm infants exhibit irregular breathing with frequent episodes of apnea, which may be associated with cyanosis and bradycardia. Perinatal asphyxia causes a considerable amount of morbidity and mortality that occurs during early life. Studies of mechanisms responsible for perinatal asphyxia are therefore very important.

  5. 23. Severe asphyxia due to substandard care during labour

    Author : Sophie Berglund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Asphyxia; Apgar score; labour; delivery; oxytocin; vacuum extraction; Caesarean section; substandard care; medical malpractice; cerebral palsy; neonatal resuscitation; perinatal death; neonatal death; fetal blood sampling; CTG; FHR;

    Abstract : Aim: The objective of the thesis was to describe the most common causes of substandard care during labour contributing to severe asphyxia or neonatal death, to study risk factors related to asphyxia associated with substandard care and to explore the occurrence of substandard care during labour. Background: There are about 100 000 infants born every year in Sweden. READ MORE

  6. 24. Factors related to outcome in patients with traumatic brain injury : with special reference to analysis with machine learning methods

    Author : David Nelson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Traumatic brain injury; Glasgow coma scale; Glasgow outcome scale; microdialysis; computed tomography; hematologic tests; machine learning;

    Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death in trauma. Neurointensive care (NICU) units have emerged to optimize treatments of the injured brain. The main objective is to identify and avoid conditions that lead to further insult and potential cell death. READ MORE

  7. 25. Prediction of neurological outcome after cardiac arrest and targeted temperature management

    Author : Marion Moseby-Knappe; Lund Neurologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neurological prognostication; brain injury; cardiac arrest; biomarkers; outcome; CT; guideline;

    Abstract : Background: Prediction of neurological outcome in unconscious patients after cardiac arrest (CA) forms the basis for decisions on further level-of-care based on results from clinical neurological examinations, neuroimaging (CT or MRI), neurophysiology (EEG or SSEP) and blood biomarkers of brain injury. Methods must be highly specific to avoid misclassifying patients with possibilities of a good outcome. READ MORE
