Keulen, Bart (author)Introduction: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare developmental defect of the diaphragm characterised by herniation of abdominal organs into the thoracic cavity during prenatal development. This herniation is usually accompanied by pulmonary hypertension (PH) and cardiac dysfunction (CD). Although several parameters are known to...master thesis 2023

Lange, Sanne (author)Epilepsy has been reported in 10-40% of children in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG), often used as neuromonitoring in the PICU, has some limitations and as a result, caretakers in the PICU may find it challenging to interpret aEEG. This may lead to uncertainty during diagnosis and...master thesis 2023

Lenzi, Sara (author), Spagnol, S. (author), Ozcan Vieira, E. (author)There is an increased awareness of how the quality of the acoustic environment impacts the lives of human beings. Several studies have shown that sound pollution has adverse effects on many populations, from infants to adults, in different environments and workplaces. Hospitals are susceptible environments that require special attention since...review 2023

(author), Spriet, Isabel (author), Endeman, Henrik (author), Haringman, Jasper J. (author)In the intensive care unit (ICU), infection-related mortality is high. Although adequate antibiotic treatment is essential in infections, beta-lactam target non-attainment occurs in up to 45% of ICU patients, which is associated with a lower likelihood of clinical success. To optimize antibiotic treatment, we aimed to develop beta-lactam target...journal article 2023

Formsma, Bart (author)<b>Introduction</b> Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of childhood morbidity, disability and mortality worldwide. In the treatment of TBI, neuromonitoring is essential to prevent secondary neurological damage. However, the use of neuromonitoring and specifically therapeutic targets is currently limited evidence-based.<br/><b...master thesis 2022

van Houwelingen, Eva (author)The intensive care unit (ICU) is a dehumanizing technical environment causing complications that are all captured in the term post-intensive-care syndrome (PICS). The patient’s well-being could be improved by moving away from this hostile environment toward more patient-centred care. Therefore this report explores how to improve the daily ICU...master thesis 2022

(author), Timmermann, Maarten (author), van Exter, Pieter (author), Bouwens, Joris (author), Browne-Wilkinson, Savanna (author), de Planque, Nine (author), Gommers, D.A.M.P.J. (author)Purpose: The healthcare sector is responsible for 6–7% of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. The intensive care unit (ICU) contributes to these CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and a shift from a linear system to a circular system is needed. The aim of our research was to perform a material flow analysis (MFA) in an academic ICU. Secondary aims were to obtain...journal article 2022

Viñas Vila, Núria (author)A soundscape is the acoustic environment that is constantly surrounding us. Soundscapes in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) might adversely affect neonates, their families, and healthcare providers. In this unit, the number of alarms and nuisance is very high, and studies show that it negatively affects both the well-being of patients and...master thesis 2021
