Symposium for professor Erik Fosse
– On December 2nd professor Erik Fosse, the leader of The Intervention Centre was 60 years and the event was celebrated with a symposium covering highlights of his professional career. Erik Fosse has had an exceptional diversity in professional interests which was reflected in the lectures given by cross diciplinary colleagues he has collaborated with over the last four decades. He is a researcher with 158 papers indexed in PubMed, but also has come up with a number of patents. As the leader of The Intervention Centre he has shown his talent not only as an innovative clinichian, supporting collegue but also as a strategic leader that now can harvest from the success of the Centre. He has over the years built a wide national and international network based on the credibility and wide recognition of his professional acievements and open minded personality.

New PhD at The Intervention Centre on "Continuous monitoring of left ventrucular function by epicardial 3-axis accelerometers"
– On December 1st 2010 anesthesiologist Steinar Halvorsen from The Intervention Centre defended his PhD thesis on the topic Continuous monitoring of left ventricular function by epicardial accelerometers. In the trial lecture the same day, Steinar Halvorsen presented "The importance of the Swan Ganz catheter in hemodynamic monitoring" in an excellent manner. The research presented in the thesis was based on a novel method for monitoring of heart function during cardiac surgery. The method detects reduced blood supply to the heart much earlier than conventional methods, and is based on measurements of heart wall movements with an acceleration sensor. In a final application the sensor will be miniturized and embedded in a temporary pacemaker lead routinely attached to the heart surface after cardiac surgery in the immediate post-operative phase.
