  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. Does resting vasomotor tone impact +Gz tolerance?

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Samuel Courboin; [2022]
    Keywords : Gravitoinertial tolerance; Gravitoinertial force; Resting vasomotor tone; Mean arterial pressure; Postexercise hypotension;

    Abstract : The ability of an individual to withstand elevated head-to-toe gravitoinertial (+Gz) forces is determined by the capacity of their body to maintain sufficient head-level arterial pressure. Recent studies have shown a relationship between resting blood-vessel stiffness and an individual’s +Gz-tolerance, although the mechanisms behind this relationship are unclear. READ MORE

  4. 3. Incidens av hypoxemi och hypotension hos hund under anestesi vid kejsarsnitt : djursjukskötarens roll i förebyggande omvårdnad

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Petra Helsén; Elin Strömblad; [2022]
    Keywords : blodtryck; dystoki; MAP; raser; SpO₂; syremättnad; tikar;

    Abstract : Uppskattningsvis 26 % av dräktiga tikar drabbas av dystoki. Åtgärder för dystoki inkluderar kejsarsnitt, medicinsk behandling och manuell korrigering. Den bakomliggande orsaken avgör lämplig behandling men i 50–65 % av fallen behöver tiken förlösas med kejsarsnitt. READ MORE

  5. 4. Physiological responses in underwater sports. A systematic review of the diving response due to exercise performed in apnoea.David Esteve-

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

    Author : David Esteve-Garde; [2021]
    Keywords : Artistic swimming; freediving; blood lactate; heart rate; arterial pressure; arterial saturation; oxygen uptake;

    Abstract : AbstractUnderwater sports such as artistic swimming and freediving, are characterized by periods of voluntary arrest of breathing, known as apnoea, while exercising. It is well known that apnoea leads to bradycardia and some other oxygen conserving responses, but little is known when exercise is conducted underwater, and the differences between exercise with intermittent and maximal apnoea periods.

  6. 5. Thermo-effector responses to a 5-day high-intensity cold-acclimation procedure

    University essay from KTH/Omgivningsfysiologi

    Author : Frederick Wilkins; [2020]
    Keywords : Hypothermia Acclimation procedure thermo effector response;

    Abstract : Long-term, repeated exposures to cold might lead to cold adaptation. The study examined, in a small homogeneous group of non-acclimatised men, the inter-individual response to a short-term, high-intensity cold acclimation regimen. READ MORE
