  1. 1. Inadequate antiplatelet pre-treatment in patients undergoing acute thoracic surgery. Risk for complications and cost.

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

    Author : Nordmark Carolina; [2018]
    Keywords : Dual antiplatelet therapy; ST-elevation myocardial infarction; bleeding complications; acute thoracic surgery;

    Abstract : Introduction Prior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) guidelines recommend that patients with ST- elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) receive dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) consisting of P2Y12 inhibition and acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). However, in rare occasions, patients admitted with STEMI as preliminary diagnosis require acute thoracic surgery and oral P2Y12 inhibitors increases the bleeding risk over several hours. READ MORE

  3. 2. Is high flow oxygen treatment beneficial or detrimental for normoxic patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention for first time ST-elevation myocardial infarction; an interim analysis of the SOCCER-study.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Läkarutbildningen

    Author : Joakim Olofsson; Martin Galeano; [2012]
    Keywords : PCI; STEMI; normoxic; oxygen; acyte myocardial infarction; MI; AMI; infarct size; troponin; WMSI; prehospital; ambulance; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background: Routine oxygen therapy has for a long time been used as part of the standard treatment for myocardial infarction (MI), despite a lack of randomized controlled trials (RCT) to support the use. A recent Cochrane review on oxygen treatment for normoxic MI patients found no evidence supporting the use, rather the trend pointed towards possible harm for oxygen. READ MORE

  4. 3. Diagnosis of acute coronary occlusion using computed electrocardiographic imaging based on the 12-lead electrocardiogram, in comparison with ST- elevation myocardial infarction criteria

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för hälsovetenskap och medicin

    Author : Mariam Al-Mashat; [2012]
    Keywords : 12-lead ECG; acute coronary occlusion; computed electrocardiographic imaging; maximum positive heart surface potentials; STEMI- criteria; PCI.;

    Abstract : Introduction: Computed electrocardiographic imaging (CEI) is a method that uses ST- segment deviations from the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and has been tested on a small number of patients.Aim: To extend the testing material of the CEI method and deduce a threshold using ECGs recorded pre- and during acute occlusion.
