2. 21. New modes of improving ventilation and oxygenation in pulmonary hypertension and acute respiratory failure in newborns and children

   Author : Sylvia Göthberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Inhaled nitric oxide; high frequency oscillatory ventilation; partial liquid ventilation; respiratory inductive plethysmography; follow-up study; pulmonary hypertension; congenital heart disease; acute respiratory failure; respiratory distress syndrome; persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn.;

   Abstract : Pulmonary hypertension leading to hypoxemia is a potentially life-threatening condition in pediatric intensive care. Hypoxemia may also result from conditions not primarily related to pulmonary hypertension. READ MORE

4. 22. The role of nitric oxide in porcine models of asthma and acute lung injury

   Author : Roelinde Middelveld; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Nitric oxide (NO) is a modulator of many important physiological processes in the body. It is produced endogenously in several cell types by a family of NO synthases (NOS). READ MORE

5. 23. Nitric oxide in experimental sepsis

   Author : Peter Dahm; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intensive care; Nitric oxide; Sepsis; NO inhalation; Endotoxin; Acute lung injury; ARDS; Nitric oxide synthase; L-NMMA; L-NAME; Anestesiologi; Anaesthesiology; Pigs; intensivvård;

   Abstract : Nitric oxide (NO) is important in the control of blood pressure and organ perfusion. In septic shock, NO produced by inducible NO-synthase (NOS) has been claimed to mediate pathological vasodilation and cell injury, while NO produced by constitutive NOS may be protective in counteracting hypoperfusion and organ injury.

   Abstract : Heart failure is a clinical syndrome characterized by an inability of the heart to meet the metabolic demands of the body. Approximately 1-2% of the population in the western society has the diagnosis, and the 5-year mortality rate is comparable with the common cancer diagnoses. READ MORE
