Excerpt

We have less information regarding the functioning of the brain than of the other vital organs during general anesthesia. This is sobering considering that the brain is the most vital of vital organs and is also the target organ of general anesthesia. Anesthesiologists have developed sophisticated monitors and understanding of human physiology, especially as it pertains to the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Perturbations in these systems, however, occur as “collateral damage” with the administration of general anesthesia. In contrast, the profound alterations occurring in brain function with general anesthesia are therapeutically indicated. With desirable general anesthesia, there are neurological changes in attention, thinking, nociception, memory formation, and consciousness – with a state of oblivion produced that is more akin to coma than sleep.1 It would be useful if we were able to monitor these various neurological changes accurately. …

Mehr Frauen im OP – weniger postoperative Komplikationen

21.05.2024 Allgemeine Chirurgie Nachrichten

Ein Frauenanteil von mindestens einem Drittel im ärztlichen Op.-Team war in einer großen retrospektiven Studie aus Kanada mit einer signifikanten Reduktion der postoperativen Morbidität assoziiert.

Delir bei kritisch Kranken – Antipsychotika versus Placebo

16.05.2024 Delir Nachrichten

Um die Langzeitfolgen eines Delirs bei kritisch Kranken zu mildern, wird vielerorts auf eine Akuttherapie mit Antipsychotika gesetzt. Eine US-amerikanische Forschungsgruppe äußert jetzt erhebliche Vorbehalte gegen dieses Vorgehen. Denn es gibt neue Daten zum Langzeiteffekt von Haloperidol bzw. Ziprasidon versus Placebo.

Eingreifen von Umstehenden rettet vor Erstickungstod

15.05.2024 Fremdkörperaspiration Nachrichten

Wer sich an einem Essensrest verschluckt und um Luft ringt, benötigt vor allem rasche Hilfe. Dass Umstehende nur in jedem zweiten Erstickungsnotfall bereit waren, diese zu leisten, ist das ernüchternde Ergebnis einer Beobachtungsstudie aus Japan. Doch es gibt auch eine gute Nachricht.
