      Aims This study tested the hypothesis that combining stress-induced biomarkers (copeptin or glucose) with high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) increases diagnostic accuracy for non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction ...
    • Capillary leakage in post-cardiac arrest survivors during therapeutic hypothermia - a prospective, randomised study 

      Heradstveit, Bård E.; Guttormsen, Anne Berit; Langørgen, Jørund; Hammersborg, Stig-Morten; Wentzel-Larsen, Tore; Fanebust, Rune; Larsson, Elna-Marie; Heltne, Jon-Kenneth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-05-25)
      Background: Fluids are often given liberally after the return of spontaneous circulation. However, the optimal fluid regimen in survivors of cardiac arrest is unknown. Recent studies indicate an increased fluid requirement ...
    • Cognitive function and health-related quality of life four years after cardiac arrest 

      Buanes, Eirik Alnes; Gramstad, Arne; Søvig, Karoline Kjellsdotter; Hufthammer, Karl Ove; Flaatten, Hans; Husby, Thomas; Langørgen, Jørund; Heltne, Jon-Kenneth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04)
      Aim: Neuropsychological testing has uncovered cognitive impairment in cardiac arrest survivors with good neurologic outcome according to the cerebral performance categories. We investigated cognitive function and health-related ...
    • Diagnostic Performance of Novel Troponin Algorithms for the Rule-Out of Non-ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome 

      Tjora, Hilde Lunde; Steiro, Ole-Thomas; Langørgen, Jørund; Bjørneklett, Rune Oskar; Skadberg, Øyvind; Bonarjee, Vernon V S; Mjelva, Øistein; Collinson, Paul; Omland, Torbjørn; Vikenes, Kjell; Aakre, Kristin Moberg (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Background The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) rule-out algorithms use cutoffs optimized for exclusion of non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). We investigated these and several novel algorithms for the ...
    • Factors predicting the use of therapeutic hypothermia and survival in unconscious out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients admitted to the ICU 

      Lindner, Thomas Werner; Langørgen, Jørund; Sunde, Kjetil; Larsen, Alf Inge; Kvaløy, Jan Terje; Heltne, Jon-Kenneth; Drægni, Tomas; Søreide, Eldar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-07-23)
      Introduction: Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) was adopted early in Norway. Since 2004 the general recommendation has been to cool all unconscious OHCA patients treated in the intensive ...
    • Targeted temperature management in cardiac arrest: survival evaluated by propensity score matching 

      Buanes, Eirik Alnes; Hufthammer, Karl O.; Langørgen, Jørund; Guttormsen, Anne-Berit; Heltne, Jon-Kenneth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Background: Targeted temperature management in cardiac arrest was introduced following evidence of increased survival from two controlled trials published in 2002. We wanted to investigate whether the introduction of ...
