Zusammenfassung

Kardiovaskuläre Begleiterkrankungen sind häufig bei Patienten mit chronisch-obstruktiver Lungenerkrankung („chronic obstructive pulmonary disease“, COPD). Ungefähr ein Drittel der Patienten mit COPD verstirbt aufgrund der kardiovaskulären Begleiterkrankungen. Overlap-Syndrom (COPD und obstruktive Schlafapnoe), pulmonale Hypertonie und Lungenüberblähung sind weitere Einflussfaktoren der kardiovaskulären Funktion von Patienten mit COPD.

Beutel versus Maschine: Beste Beatmungstechnik bei Herzstillstand gesucht

02.05.2024 Kardiopulmonale Reanimation Nachrichten

Stehen die Chancen auf eine Rückkehr der Spontanzirkulation nach Herz-Kreislauf-Stillstand bei manueller oder maschineller Beatmung besser? Und unterscheidet sich das neurologische Outcome nach der Reanimation? Das belgische Herzstillstand-Register liefert die Daten für einen direkten Vergleich zwischen Beutel und Beatmungsgerät.

Strenge Blutdruckeinstellung lohnt auch im Alter noch
