    Author : Cecilia Rodriguez Hortal; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common life shortening autosomal recessive inherited disease affecting Caucasian people. The two main clinical characteristics of CF are progressive pulmonary disease and pancreatic insufficiency. The goal of airway clearance technique (ACT) is to improve ventilation and mucociliary clearance. READ MORE

    Abstract : Extremely low gestational age newborns (ELGANs) i.e. infants born before 28 weeks of gestational age (GA), require respiratory support during their hospital stay, and a majority needs mechanical ventilation (MV) at some time point. READ MORE

  6. 4. The preterm infant : evaluating and developing non-invasive respiratory strategies to avoid mechanical ventilation

    Author : Snorri F Donaldsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Avoiding mechanical ventilation of preterm infants is important to prevent morbidity and mortality. Non-invasive ventilation and CPAP has been shown to be superior to intubation and mechanical ventilation in preventing chronic lung disease in very preterm infants.1 . CPAP for infants was first used in the early 70’s. READ MORE

    Abstract : Acute bacterial meningitis (ABM), influenza, and necrotizing soft-tissue infections (NSTIs) are diseases that in a short period of time can progress to become life threatening. Individuals with severe forms of these infections must be treated in an intensive care unit were monitoring and support of failing organs improve the chances of survival. READ MORE
