Evidence-based infectious disease and intensive care management is more relevant than ever. Medical expertise in the two disciplines often geographically limited to university institutions. In addition, interconnection between inpatient outpatient insufficient (eg, no shared electronic health record digital transfer of patient findings).This study aims establish evaluate a telemedical inpatient-outpatient network based on expert teleconsultations increase treatment quality medicine...
Sepsis is a major health care problem with high morbidity and mortality rates affects millions of patients. Telemedicine, defined as the exchange medical information via electronic communication, improves outcome patients sepsis decreases rate length stay in intensive unit (ICU). Additional telemedicine rounds could be an effective component performance-improvement programs for sepsis, especially underserved rural areas hospitals without ready access to critical physicians.Our aim was...
Introduction Tele-intensive care unit (tele-ICU) services offer the possibility to provide specialized medical in remote areas and improve patient outcomes. The aim of this study was implement evaluate an additional telepharmaceutical expert consultation as part tele-ICU services. Methods This is a prospective observational conducted telemedicine centre University Hospital RWTH Aachen, Germany. Between March July 2015, all patients one internal two ICUs received consultation. Number type...
Gender-specific differences in the outcome of patients with burn injury have been recognized past female being at a higher risk mortality. We hypothesized that early post-burn interleukin-6 (IL-6) cytokine levels may contribute to different gender-specific outcome. retrospectively examined 94 burned who were treated Burn Intensive Care Unit University Hospital Aachen. Age, gender, presence inhalation injury, depth, TBSA, and clinical documented. Serum samples for IL-6 analysis collected...
The progression of complex human diseases is associated with critical transitions across dynamical regimes. These often spawn early-warning signals and provide insights into the underlying disease-driving mechanisms. In this paper, we propose a computational method based on surprise loss (SL) to discover data-driven indicators such in multivariate time series dataset septic shock non-sepsis patient cohorts (MIMIC-III database). core idea SL train mathematical model an unsupervised fashion...
Outcome data on fluid therapy in critically ill patients from randomised controlled trials may be different obtained by observational studies under "real-life" conditions. We conducted this prospective, study to investigate current practice of (crystalloids and colloids) associated outcomes 65 German intensive care units (ICUs). In total, 4545 adult who underwent intravenous were included. The main outcome measures 90-day mortality, ICU mortality acute kidney injury (AKI). Data analysed...
Critical care medicine in severely burned patients should be adapted to the different pathophysiological phases. Accordingly, surgical and non-surgical therapy must coordinated adequately. Initial stabilization of burn victim during first 24 hours (Surgical critical - Part 1: ours, AINS 9/12) is followed by a long lasting reconstructive period. During this time calculated fluid replacement compensate evaporative losses large bourn wounds as essential reconstruction integrity skin modulation...

Von Hauttransplantation bis Nekrektomie – bei der Behandlung Schwerstbrandverletzterspielt die interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit zwischenIntensivmedizinern und Verbrennungschirurgen eine wichtige Rolle.Werfen Sie einen Blick in Klinik erfahren Sie, welche aktuellenchirurgischen Techniken Strategien zum Einsatz kommen.
Die intensivmedizinische Versorgung Schwerbrandverletzter setzt spezielle pathophysiologische Kenntnisse und Erfahrung in der Behandlung dieser Patienten voraus. Von besonderer Bedeutung für den Therapieerfolg ist dabei die interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit zwischen Intensivmedizinern Verbrennungschirurgen. Das vorliegende <b>Update zur Intensivmedizin</b> bei Schwerbrandverletzten gibt deshalb auch einen Überblick über aktuellen chirurgischen Techniken Strategien operativen Versorgung. Neben...
Zusammenfassung Tele-Intensivmedizin ist eine Möglichkeit, das Behandlungsergebnis, gemessen an der Sterblichkeit, Behandlungsdauer sowie Morbidität, zu verbessern. Sie ermöglicht wohnortnahe intensivmedizinische Versorgung und die Möglichkeit des Daten- Informationsaustauschs mit spezialisierten Zentren in Echtzeit. Im Folgenden stellen wir unterschiedlichen Realisierungsmöglichkeiten ihre Effekte Grenzen dar.
