Abstract

Background

Despite advances in surgical technique and intensive care medicine, nosocomial bacterial infections frequently occur in patients after major abdominal surgery and have a negative impact on operative outcome and hospital costs. In parallel, the routine use of antibiotics led to the development of resistance. Some probiotics (living bacteria) and prebiotics (fibers) are able to stabilize the intestinal barrier and prevent bacterial translocation and infections. The aim of this article was to review all available experience with pro- and prebiotics in surgical trials.

Materials and methods

Medical databases were searched for animal trials and randomized controlled studies with pro- and prebiotics in surgical patients. Primary endpoint of all reported studies was the occurrence of bacterial infections. In addition, type and concentration of the pro- and prebiotics, duration of therapy, adverse events, and other effects were investigated.

Results

In three animal trials and in ten of the 15 clinical studies, probiotics or synbiotics led to a significant reduction of bacterial infection rates compared to the control groups. In two studies, there was a positive trend in the groups with synbiotics, but the results were not statistically significant. Two studies showed no effect, and in one study, the mortality rate was even higher in the synbiotic group. Except in the latter study, no severe adverse events were observed. The success of treatment depends on the synbiotic preparation and the length of therapy. Patients after surgery of the liver and pancreas and multiple trauma patients profited most from synbiotic treatment.

Conclusion

The existing randomized controlled trials demonstrated a positive effect of synbiotics in patients with high-risk operations; however, synbiotic preparations should be extensively tested before using them in clinical trials.

In der Notaufnahme wird die Chance, Opfer von häuslicher Gewalt zu identifizieren, von Orthopäden und Orthopädinnen offenbar zu wenig genutzt. Darauf deuten die Ergebnisse einer Fragebogenstudie an der Sahlgrenska-Universität in Schweden hin.

Darüber reden und aus Fehlern lernen, sollte das Motto in der Medizin lauten. Und zwar nicht nur im Sinne der Patientensicherheit. Eine negative Fehlerkultur kann auch die Behandelnden ernsthaft krank machen, warnt Prof. Dr. Reinhard Strametz. Ein Plädoyer und ein Leitfaden für den offenen Umgang mit kritischen Ereignissen in Medizin und Pflege.

CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
