Abstract Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) may be useful in treating exsanguinating trauma patients. This study seeks to compare rates success, complications and time required for vascular access between ultrasound-guidance surgical cut-down femoral sheath insertion as a prospective observational case control study. Participating clinicians from either surgery or anesthesiology were allocated percutaneous ultrasound-guided puncture on 1:1 ratio. Time spans...
Purpose of review Bleeding complications from pelvic injuries occur after high-energy trauma as well low-energy in elderly patients and are the main contributors to mortality. Demographic changes necessitate focussing on both entities targeted therapies throughout course management. Recent findings This article reviews recent evidence expertise bleeding management for haemodynamically unstable with fractures insights prehospital care trends resuscitation endovascular techniques revival older...
Peripheral nerve stimulation is commonly used for localization in regional anaesthesia, but recommended currents of 0.3-0.5 mA do not reliably produce motor activity the absence intraneural needle placement. As this may be particularly true patients with diabetic neuropathy, we examined threshold and without diabetes.Preoperative evaluation included a neurological exam electroneurography. During ultrasound-guided popliteal sciatic block, measured current required to tibial common peroneal...
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...
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.
The purpose of this study was to assess anticoagulant medication as an independent factor influencing the occurrence a severe traumatic brain injury in geriatric patients. Data were collected from TraumaRegister DGU® between January 2015 and December 2018. We included patients with age ≥65 years blunt TBI; AISHead ≥2 but no other relevant injuries. Patients divided into five subgroups: medication, anti-platelet drugs, vitamin K antagonists, direct-oral-anticoagulants, heparinoids. Separation...
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...
Aim of this study This seeks to investigate, whether extubation tracheally intubated patients admitted intensive care units (ICU) postoperatively either immediately at the day admission (day 1) or delayed first postoperative 2) is associated with differences in outcomes. Materials and methods We performed a retrospective analysis data from an Austrian ICU registry. Adult between January 1 st , 2012 December 31 2019 following elective emergency surgery, who were extubated 2, included....
In unconscious individuals, rapid sequence intubation (RSI) may be necessary for cardiopulmonary stabilisation and avoidance of secondary damage. Opinions on such invasive procedures in people older age vary. We thus sought to evaluate a possible association between the probability receiving prehospital RSI unconsciousness increasing age. conducted retrospective study all missions (traumatic non-traumatic) emergency physician response unit Graz January 1st, 2010 December 31st, 2019, which we...
Aufgrund der Sonderstellung von Notarzthubschraubern (NAH) ist ein effizienter Einsatz nötig. In dieser retrospektiven Arbeit wurde versucht, die Zahl adäquater Einsätze eines für Österreich repräsentativen NAH zu evaluieren. Retrospektive Datenanalyse Primäreinsätze über 1 Jahr, Sekundäreinsätze, stornierte oder unvollständig dokumentierte Fälle wurden ausgeschlossen. Ein Score mit den Kategorien Einsatzort, Transportpriorität und Maßnahmen generiert, um Nutzen des NAH-Einsatzes gegenüber...
