Abstract:
Mathematical models of physiological processes can be used in critical care and anaesthesia to improve the understanding of disease processes and to guide treatment. This thesis provides a detailed description of two studies that are related through their shared aim of modelling different aspects of brain physiology. The Relationship Between Transcranial Bioimpedance and Invasive Intracranial Pressure Measurement in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients (BioTBI) Study describes an attempt to model intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients admitted with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Abstract:
The definition of awareness used consistently in this thesis is: Explicit recall of intraoperative events during general anaesthesia. Since there is no objective method to detect awareness, the patients must be interviewed after anaesthesia. The form and timing of the interview is crucial. To rely on spontaneous disclosure of awareness episodes is not sufficient. The total number of awareness-victims is considerable although the incidence may seem modest. A number of these patients look upon the awareness experience as the worst experience in their life. Suffering can include pain, mental dist

Abstract:
Volumetric CO2 data from patients in anaesthesia delivery systems are sought after by physicians. The CO2 data obtained with the commonly used sidestream sampling technique are not considered adequate for volumetric CO2 estimation due to distortion and desynchrony with patient flow. The purpose of this thesis was to explore the possibility of using signal enhancing methods to the sidestream data to accurately estimate CO2 flow using a Flow-i anaesthesia delivery system. To evaluate sidestream performance, experimental data was acquired using a mainstream and a sidestream capnograph connected i

Ovariohysterectomy and castration are common surgical procedures in small animal practice that can result in clinically significant postoperative pain. One way of controlling postoperative pain is administration of a single analgesic or a combination of different classes of analgesics prior to the onset of noxious stimuli. A constraint to the perioperative use of traditional opioids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is their undesirable side effects.

This study consisted of two stages. Stage 1 investigated the reproducibility and practicality of two observational sedation assessment scales for use in critically ill children. The two scales were different in design, the first being simple in design requiring a single assessment of the patient. The second was more complex in design requiring assessment of five patient parameters to obtain an overall sedation score. It was established that nursing staff preferred the second, more complex sedation scale mainly because it was perceived to give a more accurate assessment of level of sedation and

Background: Neonates who require specialized care and life-saving therapies in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and neonatal special care units (NSCUs) can be exposed to separation from their parents and families. Consequently, establishing a parental-neonate bond can be difficult. However, addressing this problem of separation through involving parents and families in neonatal care to improve parent-professional collaboration can result in positive outcomes for neonates and their families.

Palliative health care is offered to any patient experiencing a life limiting or life changing illness. The palliative approach includes goals of care, expert symptom management, and advance care planning in order to reduce patient suffering. Complex care can be provided by palliative care specialists while primary palliative care can be given by educated staff nurses. However, according to the literature, intensive care unit (ICU) nurses have demonstrated a lack of knowledge in the provision of primary care as well as experiencing moral distress from that lack of knowledge.
