Abstract

Introduction

Healthcare-associated infections put a tremendous burden on health services around. In the last few decades, there has been a tremendous advancement in foetal and maternal care, and it has led to premature babies born as early as 25 weeks of gestation being nursed and cared for in neonatal and paediatric intensive care units. However, these children can pick up a number of uncommon and rare hospital-acquired infections including central nervous system (CNS) infections.

Methods

The authors have given their own insight as to the prevention of healthcare-associated infections in paediatric intensive care settings and reviewed the current literature on the topic.

Conclusions

Healthcare-associated infections are largely preventable provided adequate prevention and protective measures are put in place and prevention guidelines are stritctly followed.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
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.

CME: 2 Punkte

Das Webinar beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
