The purpose of this update the European Society Anaesthesiology (ESA) guidelines on pre-operative evaluation adult undergoing noncardiac surgery is to present recommendations based available relevant clinical evidence. Well performed randomised studies topic are limited and therefore many rely a large extent expert opinion may need be adapted specifically healthcare systems individual countries. This article aims provide an overview current knowledge subject with assessment quality evidence...
Meropenem is a widely prescribed β-lactam antibiotic. exhibits maximum pharmacodynamic efficacy when given by continuous infusion to deliver constant drug levels above the minimal inhibitory concentration. Compared with intermittent administration, administration of meropenem may improve clinical outcomes.To determine whether reduces composite mortality and emergence pandrug-resistant or extensively drug-resistant bacteria compared in critically ill patients sepsis.A double-blind, randomized...
SARS-CoV-2 infection activates interferon-controlled signaling pathways and elicits a wide spectrum of immune responses clinical manifestations in human patients.
Predicting fluid responsiveness is crucial in treating circulatory failure, as only about half of patients benefit from volume expansion by increasing cardiac output (CO). Dynamic tests like passive leg raising (PLR) are preferred over static parameters. While PLR reliably predicts responsiveness, it typically requires invasive measurement stroke (SV) or CO. The perfusion index (PI) and pleth variability (PVI) non-invasive metrics derived oxygen saturation signals. PI has been shown to...
Abstract Objectives : To compare aortic annulus diameters obtained by 3D transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) with 2D‐TEE and the impact on prosthesis size selection in transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI). Background In TAVI diameter determines size. The ideal modality for assessment has not been defined yet. Methods Annulus (long‐axis view) 3D‐TEE view multiple‐plane‐reconstruction) were compared consecutive patients stenosis screened TAVI. Prosthesis was selected according to...
Human external cargo (HEC) extrication during helicopter rescue missions is commonly used in mountain emergency medical services. Furthermore, longline or winch operations offer the opportunity to deliver professional care onsite. As safety and quality of depends on training experience, we aimed investigate characteristics with HEC.We retrospectively reviewed all conducted by Air Zermatt (a commercial service high-alpine region Switzerland) from January 2010 September 2016.Out 11,078 1137...
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is considered an aerosol-generating procedure. Consequently, COVID-19 guidelines recommend the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) during resuscitation. In this simulation randomised crossover trials, we investigated influence PPE on quality chest compressions (CCs). Thirty-four emergency medical service BLS-providers performed two 20 min CPR sequences (five 2 cycles alternated by rest) manikins, once with and without PPE, in a order. The was...
Abstract Objective We aimed to investigate the medical characteristics of helicopter hoist operations (HHO) in HEMS missions. Methods designed a retrospective study evaluating all HHO and other human external cargo (HEC) missions performed by Swiss Air-Rescue (Rega) between January 1, 2010, December 31, 2019. Results During period, 9,963 (88.7 %) with HEC were conducted during day, 1,265 (11.3 at night. Of victims time-critical injuries (NACA ≥ 4), 21.1 % ( n = 400) reached hospital within...
Lightning strikes are rare but potentially lethal. The risk for suffering a lightning strike in mountain environment is unknown. aim of this nationwide study was to analyse all accidents the Austrian Alps from 2005 2015, assess circumstances accident, injury pattern as well outcome. From data national Alpine Police database Clinical Information System Innsbruck Medical University Hospital were searched keywords injury, strike, ICD-10 Code T75.0. Additionally, archive manually. database,...
The relationship between respiratory system mechanics, lung ultrasound (LUS) abnormalities, and mortality in mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19-associated failure is unknown. We assessed the pattern of mechanics LUS, their changes over time, differences survivors non-survivors. additionally analyzed LUS findings severity gas exchange impairment interleukin 6 (IL-6). This was a two-center retrospective, observational trial carried out intensive care units hospitals Bolzano Merano,...
Abstract Background Hypotension is associated with worse outcome in patients traumatic brain injury (TBI) and maintaining a systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥110 mmHg recommended. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence TBI suffering multiple trauma mountain areas; describe factors, treatment compared non-hypotensive without TBI; evaluate pre-hospital variables predict admission hypotension. Methods Data from prospective International Alpine Trauma Registry including (ISS ≥ 16)...
Abstract Background During the first coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic wave, an unprecedented number of patients with respiratory failure due to a new, highly contagious virus needed hospitalization and intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The aim present study was describe communication visiting policies Italian units (ICUs) during COVID-19 wave national lockdown compare these data prepandemic conditions. Methods A web-based survey conducted among 290 hospitals. Each ICU (active...
Abstract Background A major challenge in the management of avalanche victims cardiac arrest is differentiating hypothermic from non-hypothermic arrest, as and prognosis differ. Duration burial with a cutoff 60 min currently recommended by resuscitation guidelines parameter to aid this differentiation However, fastest cooling rate under snow reported so far 9.4 °C per hour, suggesting that it would take 45 cool below 30 °C, which temperature threshold can occur. Case presentation We describe...
Importance Survival probability among individuals critically buried by avalanche is highly time dependent, which was demonstrated 30 years ago. However, it remains unclear whether survival has changed over time. Objective To assess the rate and as well rescue past 4 decades. Design, Setting, Participants In this cohort study, data from Switzerland that were collected WSL Institute for Snow Avalanche Research (SLF) in Davos analyzed winter beginning 1981 to 2020 compared with period 1990....
