Estimation of pulmonary capillary pressure: different methods for different pathophysiological processes?Silvia Nunes
Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Tampere University Hospital, Tampere, Finland
Crit Care 9:143-4. 2005..Their findings suggest that no single method for estimating pulmonary capillary pressure is adequate for all disease processes...
Changes in respiratory mechanics and gas exchange during the acute respiratory distress syndromeS Nunes
Division of Intensive Care, Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Kuopio University Hospital, Kuopio, Finland
Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 50:80-91. 2006..We hypothesized that due to the changes in respiratory mechanics over time, ventilatory strategies based on rigid volume or pressure limits might fail to prevent overdistension throughout the disease process...
Dexmedetomidine versus propofol/midazolam for long-term sedation during mechanical ventilationEsko Ruokonen
Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Kuopio University Hospital, P O Box 1777, 70211, Kuopio, Finland
Intensive Care Med 35:282-90. 2009..To compare dexmedetomidine (DEX) with standard care (SC, either propofol or midazolam) for long-term sedation in terms of maintaining target sedation and length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay...
Deep sedation with dexmedetomidine in a porcine model does not compromise the viability of free microvascular flap as depicted by microdialysis and tissue oxygen tensionSilvia Nunes
Critical Care Medicine Research Group, Department of Intensive Care, Tampere University Hospital, Tampere, Finland
Anesth Analg 105:666-72. 2007..We hypothesized that dexmedetomidine, a central alpha2-agonist and otherwise potentially ideal postoperative sedative drug, may induce vasoconstriction in denervated flaps, and thus increase the risk of tissue deterioration...
Pulmonary capillary pressures during the acute respiratory distress syndromeSilvia Nunes
Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Kuopio University Hospital, Kuopio, Finland
Intensive Care Med 29:2174-9. 2003..The high variability in Pcap-PAOP increases the risk for underestimation of filtration pressures and consequently the risk for lung edema. Pcap can be estimated at the bedside by either the visual or mathematical methods...
The effect of interruption to propofol sedation on auditory event-related potentials and electroencephalogram in intensive care patientsHeidi Ypparila
Department of Clinical Neurophysiology, Kuopio University Hospital, University of Kuopio, Kuopio, Finland
Crit Care 8:R483-90. 2004..In this observational pilot study we evaluated the electroencephalogram (EEG) and auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) before and after discontinuation of propofol sedation in neurologically intact intensive care patients...
Changes in splanchnic circulation during an alveolar recruitment maneuver in healthy porcine lungsSilvia Nunes
Department of Intensive Care Medicine, University Hospital, Bern, Switzerland
Anesth Analg 98:1432-8, table of contents. 2004..This residual decrease may present a risk in conditions with markedly compromised circulatory reserves...
