Auszug

The tenth Law of The House of God—the cult 1978 novel about medical internship—states, “If you don’t take a temperature, you can’t find a fever.”1 As anesthesiologists, we have historically not been at the forefront of this law’s decidedly cynical tenet—namely to avoid actively searching for problems. Quite the opposite: anesthesiology in particular has been a specialty that throughout its history has seen the advent and introduction of an array of innovative “thermometers,” i.e., monitoring tools that aid real-time detection of untoward pathophysiologic states to make them amenable for rapid clinical decision-making. Arguably, the most notable examples include measuring blood oxygenation by oxygen electrodes and later by pulse oximetry,2,3 capnometry,4 and anesthetic agent monitoring.5

Extrakorporale Reanimation: Wechsel des EKG-Musters verschlechtert Prognose

Patientinnen und Patienten im Herzstillstand mit schockbarem Rhythmus, deren EKG-Muster sich später ändert, haben schlechtere Chancen. Eine Studiengruppe hat die Bedeutung eines solchen Rhythmuswechsels mit Blick auf die extrakorporale Reanimation genauer untersucht.

Weniger Bargeld, weniger Erstickungsnotfälle?

Dadurch, dass immer seltener mit Bargeld gezahlt wird, könnte die Rate an Erstickungsnotfällen bei Kindern zurückgehen. Dieser Hypothese ist ein britisches Forschungsteam in Klinikdaten aus den letzten zweieinhalb Jahrzehnten nachgegangen.

Leben retten dank Erste-Hilfe-App

Bei einem Herzstillstand zählt jede Minute bis eine Reanimation begonnen wird. Notfallmediziner Prof. Dr. med. Michael Müller erklärt im Interview, wie medizinisch geschulte Ersthelfende mittels App alarmiert werden können – und warum digitale Lösungen die Notfallversorgung revolutionieren könnten.

Rückenmarkstimulation lindert diabetische Neuropathie

Mit einer perkutanen Rückenmarkstimulation gehen nicht nur die Schmerzen bei chronischer diabetischer Neuropathie erheblich zurück, auch die sensorischen, autonomen und sexuellen Funktionen verbessern sich. Darauf weisen erste Ergebnisse einer Pilotstudie.
