  1. 1. Comparison of direct Fick's principle and thermodilution for calculating cardiac output in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.Does the assessment of cardiac index and pulmonary vascular resistance differ depending on which method is chosen?

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

    Author : Gabriella Persson; [2023]
    Keywords : Pulmonary arterial hypertension; cardiac output; direct Fick´s principle; thermodilution;

    Abstract : Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is an uncommon but serious disease that causes increased pressure in the pulmonary vessels and increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), which in turn leads to right heart failure. At diagnosis, mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) must be >20 mmHg, pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) ≤15 mmHg and PVR >2 Wood units (WU). READ MORE

  3. 2. Physiological ranges and variability in organ blood flow in laboratory animals

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Author : Camilla Anger; [2014]
    Keywords : organblodflöden; laboratoriedjur; farmakokinetik; regionala blodflöden; scaling; fysiologiska parametrar; organ blood flow; cardiac output; laboratory animals; physiologically based pharmacokinetics; microspheres; physiological parameters;

    Abstract : BACKGROUND: Organ blood flow rates are useful in allometric scaling and for the application of Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling (PBPK). These models are typically used for extrapolating pharmacokinetic data across different species, which has important applications in drug discovery and safety assessment. READ MORE

  4. 3. Compensating for Respiratory Artifacts in Blood Pressure Waveforms

    University essay from Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Martin Wikström; [2004]
    Keywords : Reglerteknik; Cardiac catheterization; respiratory artifacts; artifact removal; Reglerteknik;

    Abstract : Cardiac catheterization has for a long time been a valuable way to evaluate the hemodynamics of a patient. One of the benefits is that the entire blood pressure waveform can be recorded and visualized to the cardiologist. READ MORE
