  2. 1. Safety and biological aspects of present techniques of haemodialysis

    Author : Per Jonsson; Hans Dietrich Polaschegg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : haemodialysis; safety; leakage current; central dialysis catheter; microbubbles; microemboli; air contamination; transfusion medicine; transfusionsmedicin;

    Abstract : Introduction: Haemodialysis (HD) is a treatment in which blood from the patient is lead through a tubing system into a dialysis device in a extracorporeal circuit. This circuit contains semipermeable membranes (dialyzer). Blood with uraemic toxins flows on one side, and a salt solution flows on the other side. READ MORE

  4. 2. Safety with Mechanical Chest Compressions in CPR : Clinical studies with the LUCAS™ device

    Author : David Smekal; Sten Rubertsson; Michael Baubin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiac arrest; Cardiopulmonary resuscitation; Mechanical chest compressions; Active compression-decompression; Injury; Autopsy; LUCAS; Medicin; Medicine;

    Abstract : Chest compressions in cardiopulmonary resuscitation are of utmost importance although not without a risk. Many injuries are described but the incidence of these is hard to define due to methodological differences. It is strenuous to perform chest compressions and therefore mechanical chest compressions have been looked upon with interest. READ MORE

  5. 3. Software development and risk management in the safety critical medical device domain

    Author : Christin Lindholm; Institutionen för datavetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; risk management; Software development; medical device;

    Abstract : The healthcare sector is one of the fastest growing economic sectors of today. The medical device domain is one part of that sector. An increasing part of functionality in medical devices and systems is implemented in software and many features should not be possible to implement without software. READ MORE

  6. 4. Safety interventions in Swedish small-scale forestry

    Author : Björn Edlund; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In private non-industrial forestry, self-employed work has long been associated with high risks for injuries. This thesis is based on four studies that focused on two of the major high-risk activities in this sector in Sweden: two on felling, de-limbing and bucking trees with a chainsaw; and two on off-road use of quad bikes.

  7. 5. Software Risk Management in the Safety-critical Medical Device Domain - Involving a User Perspective

    Author : Christin Lindholm; Institutionen för datavetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Software development; Medical device development; User perspective; Risk management; Usability testing;

    Abstract : There is a thin line between life and death. In the medical domain, risk management can be an instrument that helps the development organisations to develop safer medical devices. A medical device that fails can bring harm to both patients and medical staff. READ MORE
