Endotracheal intubation (ETI) with direct view laryngoscopy (DL) is the gold standard for airway management. Videolaryngoscopy (VL) can improve glottis visualization, thus facilitating ETI. The aim of this monocentric, randomized, prospective study on a physician staffed German air ambulance to compare DL and VL ETI in terms number attempts time as well visualization prehospital setting physician-based rescue system adult patients. A power analysis was performed à priori. We used consecutive...
Abstract Purpose The aim of this retrospective analysis was to investigate and evaluate differences in functional outcome satisfaction patients treated with a TOPS using socket prosthesis after transfemoral amputation. Methods This comprehensive included from single hospital, conducted between February 2017 December 2018. Overall n = 139 were divided into two comparable groups (socket- group). Incomplete data sets excluded. led 36 participants for the socket- 33 group. Functional evaluated...
Physical impairment is well-known to last for many years after a severe injury, and there high impact on the quality of survivor's life. The purpose this study was examine if also true psychological with symptoms posttraumatic stress disorder or depression polytrauma.Retrospective cohort outcome study.Level I trauma centre.637 polytrauma patients who were treated at our Level centre between 1973 1990. Minimum follow-up 10 injury.Patients asked fill in questionnaire, including parts...
Transcutaneous osseointegrated prosthetic systems (TOPS) are anchored for major limb loss. Sometimes TOPS patients suffer from periprosthetic fractures. The aim of this study was to analyze the management and outcomes fractures in with introduce a novel classification system entity.Since 2010, 140 were treated after transfemoral amputation two centers Germany. Fifteen sustained fractures, five intra- ten postoperative outcome analyzed by Prosthesis Mobility Questionnaire (PMQ), K-level...
Reliable diagnosis of shock in multiply injured patients is still challenging emergency care. Point-of-care tests could have the potential to improve diagnosis. Therefore, this study aimed analyze impact admission blood glucose on predicting patients.A retrospective cohort analysis with an injury severity score (ISS) ≥ 16 who were treated a level I trauma center from 01/2005 12/2014 was performed. Shock defined by systolic pressure ≤ 90 mmHg and/or index 0.9 at admission. Laboratory...
To analyse the influence of upper extremity trauma on long-term outcome polytraumatised patients.A total 629 multiply injured patients were included in a follow-up study at least ten years after injury (mean age 26.5 years, standard deviation 12.4). The extent patients' was classified using Injury Severity Score. Outcome measured Hannover Score for Polytrauma (HASPOC), Short Form (SF)-12, rehabilitation duration, and employment status. Outcomes with without fracture compared analysed regard...
Background: Cervical collars (CC) are routinely used in prehospital trauma treatment. However, over the past years, their application was discussed more critically since they increase intravenous pressure due to reduced venous drainage and possibility of secondary cervical spine injury. Guidelines have been adjusted accordingly. The question is how efficient has this put into practice, good, as well up date, knowledge emergency medicine personnel about indications on immobilisation? Methods:...
This study aimed to analyze the correlation between transverse process (TP) fractures of fourth (L4) and fifth (L5) lumbar vertebrae biomechanical haemodynamic stability in patients with a pelvic ring injury, since previous data are inconsistent.The is retrospective matched-pair analysis fracture according modified Tile AO Müller Young Burgess classification who presented level 1 trauma centre January 2005 December 2014.A total 728 injuries were included, whom 183 (25.1%) had biomechanically...
Flail chest is considered as one of the most severe forms blunt thoracic trauma. However, its actual influence on post-traumatic morbidity and mortality debatable.A retrospective cohort analysis was performed multiply injured patients (injury severity score ≥16) at a level I trauma center. defined segment fracture least three consecutive ribs side. Propensity matching performed.A total 600 were included, with mean age 44.1±19.1 years injury 31.6±10.4. Overall, 367 (61.2%) had serial rib...
Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is the leading cause of late posttraumatic mortality. This study analyzed prognostic values osteoprotegerin (OPG) and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL/lipocalin 2) compared to interleukin-6 (IL-6) in multiply injured patients.A retrospective observational cohort on patients with an injury severity score (ISS) ≥16 was performed. OPG, NGAL IL-6 blood concentrations were measured. Statistical analysis comprised...
Objective Geriatric patients account for a significant proportion of the collective treated by psychiatric consultation service in hospitals. In Emergency Department (ED), psychotropic drugs are frequently recommended, notwithstanding their extensive side-effect profiles. This study sought to investigate medication safety geriatric referred ED. Methods Medication lists 60 from general internal medicine and trauma surgery EDs were analyzed. Utilizing PRISCUS list Fit fOR The Aged (FORTA)...
Background: Early detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) is crucial in the management multiple-organ dysfunction syndrome severely injured patients. Standard laboratory parameters usually increase with temporal delay. Therefore, we evaluated neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as an early marker for injury. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively patients admitted to a level 1 trauma center. collected clinicodemographic data measured kidney-related factors plasma cytokines....
