      Pneumonia, severe sepsis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are frequent complications after head trauma. Recombinant human activated protein C (APC) reportedly improves circulation and respiration in severe sepsis, but is contraindicated after head injury because of increased risk of intracranial bleeding. A 21-year-old man with severe head injury after a car accident was endotracheally ...

    • Family members' experiences on "wait and see" as a communication strategy in end-of-life decisions

    • Maintaining intravenous volume mitigates hypothermia-induced myocardial dysfunction and accumulation of intracellular Ca2+ 

      Nilsen, Jan Harald; Schanche, Torstein; Kondratiev, Timofei V.; Hevrøy, Olav; Tveita, Torkjel; Sieck, Gary C. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-17)
      Previous research exploring pathophysiological mechanisms underlying circulatory collapse after rewarming victims of severe accidental hypothermia has documented post-hypothermic cardiac dysfunction and hypothermia-induced elevation of intracellular Ca<sup>2+</sup> concentration ([Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>i</sub>) in myocardial cells. The aim of the present study was to examine if maintaining euvolaemia ...
