Background The ‘chain of survival’—including early call for help, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation—represents the most beneficial approach favourable patient outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Despite increasing numbers publicly accessible automated external defibrillators (AED) interventions to increase public awareness basic life support (BLS), number their use in real-life emergency situations remains low. Methods In this prospective...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) interferes with the vascular endothelium. It is not known whether COVID-19 additionally affects arterial stiffness.This case-control study compared brachial-ankle pulse wave (baPWV) and carotid-femoral velocities (cfPWV) of acutely ill patients without COVID-19.Twenty-two (50% females, 77 [67-84] years) were 22 age- sex-matched controls. In patients, baPWV (19.9 [18.4-21.0] vs. 16.0 [14.2-20.4], P = 0.02) cfPWV (14.3 [13.4-16.0] 11.0 [9.5-14.6], 0.01)...
Electrocardiography (ECG) is an important tool to triage patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). An immediate coronary angiography ROSC recommended only in ECG that diagnostic ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). To date, the benefit this approach has not been demonstrated a post-ROSC STEMI.To assess whether time from acquisition associated accuracy for STEMI.This retrospective, multicenter cohort study (the Post-ROSC...
Recent evidence suggested levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), and AST/ALT ratio (De-Ritis ratio) were associated with a worse outcome after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, their value for predicting long-term prognosis remained unknown. Therefore, we investigated the prognostic potential transaminases on patient AMI from perspective.Data large registry including 1355 consecutive patients analyzed. The Cox regression hazard analysis was used to...
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is an excessive immune activation with cytokine storm und multi-organ dysfunction. It can occur secondarily, especially due to viral infections like COVID-19. Rapid treatment crucial for favourable outcomes, but diagnosing HLH challenging. The most common diagnostic instrument the H-Score. However, prognostic value of H-score has not yet been assessed in detail spotlight secondary severe COVID-19 patients treated between February 2020 and April 2021...
Abstract Background: Mountain Rescue Services (MRS) are a vital link in the chain of survival when it comes to emergencies at high altitudes. Cognitive impairment hypobaric hypoxic conditions is known, and previous studies have shown suboptimal performance MRS members after steep ascent. These impairments may be linked regional cerebral oxygenation (rSO2). Therefore, this study aimed investigate whether there dynamics rSO2 between “baseline” “working” altitudes climbing up potential patient....
Abstract Objective Ankle‐brachial index (ABI) and carotid‐femoral pulse‐wave velocity (cfPWV) are well‐established surrogate markers of overall cardiovascular risk. However, their prognostic value towards short‐ long‐term mortality in an emergency medicine setting is yet unknown. Approach Results Acutely ill medical patients systematically underwent cfPWV ABI measurements at the department a tertiary care hospital. Patients' survival was analysed relation to values initial presentation. In...
Troponin is a crucial biomarker in the emergency department (ED). Current evidence does not support differentiation between an uncomplicated tachyarrhythmia and significant coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of present study was to assess use troponins predict CAD mortality patients with acute atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF/AFL). This cohort included 3,425 consecutive episodes AF/AFL treated at ED Medical University Vienna 2012 2024. Coronary angiography performed 251 cases. Patients...
