Akutklinikens forskargrupp (EMRC)

Forsknings- och utvecklingsenheten på Akutkliniken vid Universitetssjukhuset i Linköping startade 2016. Akutkliniken är sedan 2021 Sveriges första universitetssjukvårdsenhet i akutsjukvård och bedriver ett brett forskningsprogram inom akutsjukvård.

Målet med forskningen är att förbättra omhändertagandet av akut sjuka patienter, bland annat genom utveckling av nya metoder för prioritering, riskstratifiering och avancerade prognosmodeller.

På akutkliniken US bedrivs forskning och utveckling med stor spännvidd – från projekt kring basal fysiologi, till nationella studier om patientflöden och utfall i akutsjukvård. Tonvikten ligger på projekt som rör det dagliga arbetet på akutmottagningen och många av våra forskningsfrågor och utvecklingsprojekt är direkt kopplade till utmaningar i den kliniska vardagen.

Aktuella forskningsområden:

  • AI-baserade prognosmodeller för riskstratifiering av akut sjuka patienter.
  • Utveckling av mikrocirkulatoriska markörer för svår och livshotande akut sjukdom.
  • Utveckling av patientnära provtagningametoder vid respiratorisk insufficines.
  • Prognosticering av arbetsbelastning och resursutnyttjande inom ambulans- och akutsjukvård.
  • Utveckling av nya verktyg för riskstratifiering av särskilt sårbara patientgrupper, exempelvis sköra äldre.
