National and regional systems for emergency medical care provision may differ greatly. We sought to determine whether or not physicians are utilized in prehospital what extent they present differentEuropean countries.
Introduction Nowadays, managing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) prioritises measures that achieve a good neurological outcome. Monitoring function early is an essential step in identifying patients who could benefit from invasive techniques, such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, compared with suffering irreversible hypoxic–ischaemic brain injury. Electroencephalography (EEG) has been used the hospital; thus, its prehospital data are lacking. This study aimed to evaluate...
Haemoadsorption has been described as an effective way to control increased pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators ("cytokine storm") in septic shock patients. No prospective or randomised clinical study yet confirmed these results. However, no prospectively specifically investigated patients severe with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI). Therefore, we aimed examine whether haemoadsorption could influence intensive care unit (ICU) hospital mortality Furthermore, examined the of on...
Assessment of patients' wellbeing in the post anaesthesia care unit and how much each disturbance influences it. Furthermore, assessment incidence correlated disturbances whether there are gender-specific aspects. Observational anonymised survey with a validated questionnaire university hospital central Europe. Incidence rates unit. The most frequently reported early postsurgical (n = 349) were i) dry mouth (35.4%), ii) pain surgical area (12.7%) iii) hunger (12.2%). Every other was below...
The continuous rise in calls for emergency physicians and the low proportion of indicated missions has led to a loss job attractiveness, which turn renders services some areas unable sufficiently staff units. This retrospective analysis evaluated frequency general medical interventions ground-based physician response system.A anonymized data from electronic documentation system unit at Medical University Graz was carried out. Calls answered by between 2010 2018 were extracted, measures out...
Abstract This study seeks to identify factors that are associated with decisions of prehospital physicians start (continue, if ongoing) or withhold (terminate, CPR in patients OHCA. We conducted a retrospective using anonymised data from physician response system. Data on attended for cardiac arrest between January 1st, 2010 and December 31st, 2018 except babies at birth were included. Logistic regression analysis by as the dependent variable possible independent variables adjusted...

Hyperkalaemia is a common electrolyte abnormality seen in critically ill patients. In haemorrhagic shock, it may contribute to cardiac arrest and has been identified as potential marker for tissue hypoxia. However, the significance of its role shock contribution mortality remains unclear. This study aimed examine underlying pathophysiology evaluate incidence characteristics patients with hyperkalaemia on hospital arrival bleeding trauma before transfusions mortality.
Background Noncompressible truncal hemorrhage is a major contributor to preventable deaths in trauma patients and, despite advances emergency care, still poses big challenge. Objectives This study aimed assess the clinical efficacy of resuscitation care incorporating Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion Aorta (REBOA) compared standard for managing uncontrolled torso or lower body hemorrhage. Methods utilized target trial design with matched case–control methodology, emulating...
Patient Blood Management (PBM) programmes seek to reduce the number of missed anaemic patients in run-up surgery. The aim this study was evaluate usefulness haemoglobin (Hb) measured non-invasively (SpHb) preoperative screening for anaemia. We conducted a prospective observational clinic. Adult undergoing examination surgery who had their Hb by laboratory means also trained health care provider. 1216 were recruited. A total 109 (9.3%) (53 men and 56 women) found be standard measurement....
Die präklinische Notfallversorgung in Österreich stützt sich im Regelfall auf ein 2‑stufiges System. Liegen keine erkennbaren Störungen einer Vitalfunktion vor, werden als primäre Rettungskräfte zum überwiegenden Teil ehrenamtlich tätige Rettungssanitäter mit Ausbildung von zumindest 260 h Notfallort entsandt. Überschreitet die Notfallsituation deren Kompetenz, stellt Nachalarmierung Notärzten nächste (und zugleich ultimativ höchste) Stufe der Regelversorgung dar. In letzten Dekade ist...
We aim to describe incidence and outcomes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) efforts their in ICUs changes over time.Retrospective cohort analysis.Patient data documented the Austrian Center for Documentation Quality Assurance Intensive Care database.Adult patients (age ≥ 18 yr) admitted between 2005 2019.None.Information on CPR was deduced from Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System. End points were overall occurrence rate ICU unexpected cardiac arrest after first day stay as well...
Blood gas analysis, including parameters like lactate and base excess (BE), is crucial in emergency medicine but less commonly utilized prehospital. This study aims to elucidate the relationship between BE various emergencies a prehospital setting their prognostic implications.
Abstract Background The assessment of illness severity in the prehospital setting is essential for guiding appropriate medical interventions. National Advisory Committee Aeronautics (NACA) score a validated tool commonly used this purpose. However, potential benefits using bitemporal documentation NACA scores to capture dynamic changes emergency situations remain uncertain. objective study was evaluate benefit setting, specifically assessing emergencies and facilitating quality improvement...
Fragestellung / Studienziel Die Behandlungspriorität von Herzstillständen konzentriert sich nicht mehr nur auf die Wiederherstellung des spontanen Kreislaufs (ROSC), sondern vorrangig Maßnahmen, zu einem guten neurologischen Ergebnis führen. Es ist jedoch bisher möglich Patient*innen mit solch Potential denen unterscheiden, bereits einen hypoxischen Hirnschaden haben. Weiters auch unklar, ob CPR-induziertes Bewusstsein (CPRIC) durch diese Methode festgestellt werden kann.In dieser Studie...

Traumatic injuries, particularly those involving massive bleeding, remain a leading cause of preventable deaths in prehospital settings. The availability appropriate emergency equipment is crucial for effectively managing these but the variability across different response units can impact quality trauma care. This prospective survey study evaluated bleeding patients Austria. A nationwide was conducted 139 Austrian Prehospital Physician Response Units (PRUs) to evaluate presence and...
