• "Fighting the system" : families caring for ventilator-dependent children and adults with complex health care needs at home 

      Dybwik, Knut; Tollåli, Terje; Nielsen, Erik Waage; Brinchmann, Berit Støre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      An increasing number of individuals with complex health care needs now receive life-long and lifeprolonging ventilatory support at home. Family members often take on the role of primary caregivers. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of families giving advanced care to family members dependent on home mechanical ventilation. Using qualitative research methods, a Grounded Theory ...

      En kvinne i 60-årene med covid-19-utløst akutt lungesviktsyndrom hadde stasjonær kritisk sykdom etter tre ukers intensivbehandling. Dag 19 på respirator fikk hun behandling med steroider. Det ble raskt klinisk bedring, og hun kunne avvennes fra ventilasjonsstøtte. Bedringen kan ha vært tilfeldig eller et resultat av andre faktorer, men vi mener denne kasuistikken kan bidra til å belyse bruk av ...
    • Randomized phase II trial comparing twice daily hyperfractionated with once daily hypofractionated thoracic radiotherapy in limited disease small cell lung cancer 

      Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Halvorsen, Tarje Onsøien; Fløtten, Øystein; Brustugun, Odd Terje; Brunsvig, Paal Fr.; Aasebø, Ulf; Bremnes, Roy M.; Tollåli, Terje; Hornslien, Kjersti; Aksnessæther, Bjørg Y.; Liaaen, Erik Dyb; Sundstrøm, Stein Harald (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-10-23)
      <br>BACKGROUND: <br> Concurrent chemotherapy and thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) is recommended for limited disease small cell lung cancer (LD SCLC). Twice daily TRT is well documented, but not universally implemented - probably mainly due to inconvenience and concerns about toxicity. A schedule of three-week hypofractionated TRT is a commonly used alternative. This is the first randomized trial ...
    • Why does the provision of home mechanical ventilation vary so widely? 

      Dybwik, Knut; Tollåli, Terje; Nielsen, Erik Waage; Brinchmann, Berit Støre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2010)
      There is wide variation in the provision of home mechanical ventilation (HMV) throughout Europe, but the provision of home mechanical ventilation can also vary within countries. In 2008, the overall prevalence of HMV in Norway was 19.9/100,000, and there were huge regional differences in treatment prevalence. The aim of this study is to find explanations for these differences. We gathered ...
