  2. 11. Nicotinic transmission and drugs in anesthesia : neuromuscular blocking agents and propofol : consequences for carotid body function

    Author : Malin Jonsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Carotid body; chemoreceptors; neuromuscular blocking agents; propofol; acetylcholine; nicotinic acetylcholine receptors;

    Abstract : The carotid body is the global oxygen sensor of the human body. Acute hypoxia elicits instant hyperventilation mediated from the carotid body type 1 cells, where nicotinic transmission is a key component in oxygen sensing and signalling. READ MORE

  4. 12. Respiratory control in the newborn : central chemosensitivity, neuropeptides and nicotinic effects

    Author : Ronny Wickström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Breathing is regulated by a complex network of neurons located mainly in the brainstem. For the newborn, it is critical for survival that a continuous respiration is established after birth. However, the regulation of respiration also undergoes maturation in the postnatal period.

  5. 13. Endothelial function during ischemia-reperfusion and effects of inhalation of nitric oxide

    Author : Lars Lindberg; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chemiluminescence; capnography; monitoring; inhalation; mechanical ventilation; pulmonary hypertension; nitric oxide; EDRF; endothelium-derived relaxation factor; endothelium; organ preservation; Lung; lung transplantation; electrochemical fuel cell; Anaesthesiology; intensive care; Anestesiologi; intensivvård;

    Abstract : The vascular endothelium is an important regulatory organ in circulatory physiology and plays a central role in the response to acute inflammation and ischemia/reperfusion. Activation and dysfunction of the pulmonary vascular endothelium are closely related to clinical findings of pulmonary dysfunction. READ MORE

  6. 14. Regulation of Breathing under Different Pulmonary Conditions

    Author : Esther Rieger-Fackeldey; Gunnar Sedin; Anders Jonzon; Richard Sindelar; Andreas Schulze; Richard Martin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatrics; Control of breathing; Pulmonary Stretch Receptor; Phrenic Nerve Activity; Respiratory Distress Syndrome; Surfactant; Partial Liquid Ventilation; Assisted Ventilation; Pediatrik; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin;

    Abstract : The breathing pattern of preterm infants is immature and is associated with a variety of reflexes. In a patient on the ventilator these reflexes interfere with spontaneous breathing. A better understanding of the immature control of breathing could lead to further improvements in ventilatory techniques. READ MORE

  7. 15. 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
