Karoline Aker
Om
Jeg er postdoktor ved IKOM med hovedinteressene nyfødtmedisin og global helse.
Jeg er med i forskningsgruppen Nyfødtmedisin - NTNU Neo.
Fagfelt
Jeg disputerte i mai 2022 på PhD-prosjektet “Perinatal asphyxia in a global perspective: How can we improve outcomes?” med Ragnhild Støen som hovedveileder. Prosjektet bestod av to studier, der den første så på forekomst og langtidsutkomme av fødselsasfyksi i Sør Trøndelag før og etter implementering av kjølebehandling. Den andre studien var en randomisert kontrollert studie av kjølebehandling etter fødselsasfyksi ved et sykehus i India (THIN-study). Jeg er nå postdoktor med et prosjekt nært knyttet til min PhD med tema fødselsasfyksi og kjølebehandling. Vi bruker sentrale helseregister til å utforske langtidsutkomme til nyfødte behandlet med kjølebehandling i Norge.
