1. The epidemiology of cardiac arrest - In-hospital risk assessment, treatment and outcome
Abstract : AIM: To describe and analyse sudden cardiac arrest, both in hospital and out of hospital, from an epidemiological perspective, by early prediction, by comparing changes over time in relation to aetiology, characteristics, treatment, survival or mortality and by identifying factors associated with outcome. METHODS: This thesis is based on four observational studies, including patient information from the Swedish Registry for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, in and out of hospital, and from a local registry on medical emergency team assessment at Sahlgrenska University Hospital.

2. The rapid response system : effects of early identification and treatment of physiological instability
Abstract : Adverse events occur to hospital patients, with potentially fatal consequences. Unfortunately, preceding warning signs are not always recognized and acted upon correctly. There exists a mismatch between patients’ needs and the resources available in general wards. READ MORE

3. Performance of a revised capnodynamic method for cardiac output monitoring
Abstract : Cardiac output (CO) monitoring is ideal for guiding fluid, vasopressor and inotropic therapy for sufficient oxygen delivery and may improve outcome in high risk surgery. In this context, many minimally-and non-invasive methods have emerged during recent years, however, they appear less reliable when compared to the thermodilution methods during rapid changes in vascular volume and resistance, a common feature during major surgery.

4. Prediction and monitoring of in-hospital cardiac arrest
Abstract : Background: In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is a global health concern of major importance, associated with a poor prognosis. IHCA is frequently heralded by a deterioration of vital signs, and many cases are considered preventable. Hence, prevention has become a key strategy. READ MORE
