2. 6. Aspects of Induced Hypothermia following Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation : Cerebral and Cardiovascular Effects

   Author : Johanna Nordmark; Sten Rubertsson; Per Enblad; Jacob Johansson; Patrick Kochanek; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anaesthetics and intensive care; Anestesiologi och intensivvård;

   Abstract : Hypothermia treatment with cooling to a body temperature of 32-34°C has been shown to be an effective way of improving neurological outcome and survival in unconscious patients successfully resuscitated after cardiac arrest (CA). The method is used clinically but there are still many questions on the biological mechanisms and on how the treatment is best performed. READ MORE

4. 7. Augmentation of vital organ blood flow during experimental cardiopulmonary resuscitation

   Author : Rolf Gedeborg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Cardiac arrest; cardiopulmonary resuscitation; epinephrine; high-dose epinephrine; buffer; cerebral blood flow; post-resuscitation period; aortic occlusion; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Anestesiologi; Anaesthesiology;

   Abstract : Clinical outcome from cardiac arrest remains poor. If the time from arrest to restoration of spontaneous circulation can be shortened and resuscitation techniques improved so that higher blood flow and oxygen delivery to vital organs is achieved, it is possible that the outcome from cardiac arrest could improve.

5. 8. Hyperglycemia in Experimental Cerebral Ischemia

   Author : Maria Molnar; Fredrik Lennmyr; Sten Lindahl; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; brain ischemia; cardiac arrest; cytokines; gene expression; glucose; hyperglycemia; microarray; oxidative stress; pigs; rats; reperfusion; resuscitation S100β; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

   Abstract : Cerebral ischemia is a life-threatening condition associated with a substantial morbidity and mortality. Hyperglycemia, a common coexisting phenomenon in both stroke and cardiac arrest (CA), may further aggravate ischemic brain injury. To date, the therapeutic possibilities are lim-ited and the search for new treatment modalities is warranted. READ MORE

6. 9. Intranasal Cooling for Cerebral Hypothermia Treatment

   Author : Lucian Covaciu; Sten Rubertsson; Jan Weis; Peter Andrews; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Selective brain cooling; cerebral hypothermia; therapeutic hypothermia; cardiac arrest; stroke; traumatic brain injury; brain temperature; magnetic resonance spectroscopy; trigeminal reflex; Intensive care; Intensivvård; Radiology; Radiologi; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care;

   Abstract : The controlled lowering of core body temperature to 32°C to 34°C is defined as therapeutic hypothermia (TH). Therapeutic hypothermia has been shown to improve neurological outcome and survival in unconscious patients successfully resuscitated after cardiac arrest. READ MORE

7. 10. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, selection and candidacy

   Author : Carl-Henrik Ölander; Laila Hellgren; Per Vikholm; Anders Jeppson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation ECPR ; end-tidal carbon dioxide ETCO2 ; in-hospital cardiac arrest IHCA ; out-of-hospital cardiac arrest OHCA ;

   Abstract : Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an exclusive treatment using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in refractory cardiac arrest (CA). Treatment is associated with risk of serious complications, including neurologic impairment and renal failure. Success of treatment is dependent on appropriate selection of candidates. READ MORE
