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

3. Initiation of ventilation, surfactant treatment, and lung function after preterm birth
Abstract : The thesis investigates lung function and the effects of rescue surfactant treatment in mechanically ventilated preterm human infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), and the effects of ventilation at birth on the response to surfactant supplementation in preterm lambs. To assess lung function, the author recorded static pressure-volume (P-V) curves during passive deflation from total lung capacity (TLC) to ambient pressure and measured end-expiratory lung volume (FRC) during mechanical ventilation by tracer gas washout.

4. New modes of improving ventilation and oxygenation in pulmonary hypertension and acute respiratory failure in newborns and children
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. CD64 (FcγRI) Expression on Neutrophil Granulocytes : A Diagnostic Marker of Acute Bacterial Infections
Abstract : Background. Newborn infants, especially preterm infants, have an increased susceptibility to serious and overwhelming bacterial as well as fungal infections. Symptoms of septicaemia in especially the very preterm neonates are vague and unspecific. READ MORE
