  4. 2. Intravasal microdialysis as a novel technique to monitor metabolism in myocardial ischemia and critical illness

    Author : Tobias Bäckström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cardiac surgery; glycerol; gut ischemia; hemorrhagic shock; intravasal; L Pratio; microdialysis; myocardial infarction; myocardial ischemia; reperfusion; sepsis;

    Abstract : Rapid detection of post-operative myocardial ischemia is of great value in the treatment of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. With the methods readily available in modem thoracic intensive care units post-operative myocardial ischemia is difficult to detect, and the risk of myocardial ischemia and other complications after cardiac surgery is particularly high in patients with concurrent co-morbidity.

  5. 3. Acute kidney injury after coronary artery bypass grafting and outcomes

    Author : Linda Rydén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Acute Kidney Injury;

    Abstract : Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a rapid reduction in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) that leads to a rise in serum creatinine (SCr). Acute kidney injury is common and patients with sepsis and patients who undergo cardiac surgery are at highest risk. READ MORE

  6. 4. The rapid response system : effects of early identification and treatment of physiological instability

    Author : Gabriella Jäderling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : rapid response system;

    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

  7. 5. On bioenergetic failure in septic shock : lactate kinetics and mitochondrial respiration

    Author : Jonathan Grip; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Septic shock, a dysregulated immune response to an infection, is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in patients treated in intensive care units (ICUs). The cause of the organ dysfunction seen in sepsis is still not fully elucidated, but a disrupted intracellular metabolism, a bioenergetics failure, has been suggested as a possible mechanism.
