  2. 1. Early ventilatory management and lung function in the immature newly born. Experimental studies in lambs

    Author : Jonas Ingimarsson; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intensive care; Anestesiologi; intensivvård; Anaesthesiology; newborn.; animals; lung recruitment; resuscitation; respiratory distress syndrome; pulmonary surfactants;

    Abstract : Using an animal model, the thesis explores how the initial ventilation of the lungs, and surfactant therapy, should best be managed after premature birth. Material and measurements: The studies were made in newborn lambs delivered by cesarean section. READ MORE

  4. 2. 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

  5. 3. Respiratory distress syndrome aspects of inhaled nitric oxide, surfactant and nasal CPAP

    Author : Robert B I Lindwall; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Nitric oxide; Nitrogen dioxide; Pulmonary surfactants; Respiratory therapy; Inhalation exposure; Administration; Inhalation; Continuous Positive Airway Pressure;

    Abstract : Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) still represents one of the main problems in the treatment of premature infants. Despite the use of surfactant replacement therapy RDS adds to the need for endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation (M). READ MORE

  6. 4. Immune variation in infectious disease and during development early in life

    Author : Lucie Solène Tiaré Rodriguez; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The human immune system is not only a complex system but a highly dynamic and heterogenous one. It consists of many specialized cells that stimulate and inhibit each other via proteins and physical interactions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Surfactant metabolism in the newborn : the impact of ventilation strategy and lung disease

    Author : Kajsa Bohlin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Surface active agents; pulmonary surfactant; respiratory distress syndrome; stable isotope; artificial respiration; continuous positive airway pressure; metabolism; rabbit; compliance; preterm; newborn;

    Abstract : Developmental deficiency in pulmonary surfactant leads to respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm infants, but all newborns may have impaired surfactant metabolism secondary to lung disease or ventilator induced lung injury. Exogenous surfactant treatment is usually administered in conjunction with mechanical ventilation. READ MORE
