The median length from arrival in the holding area to beginning prewarming was 6 min and the average duration of prewarming was 46 +/- 38 min. During prewarming the core temperature rose by 0.3 +/- 0.4A degrees C to 37.1 +/- 0.5A degrees C and decreased to 36.3 +/- 0.5A degrees C after induction of anesthesia. At the end of the operation the core temperature was 36.4 +/- 0.5A degrees C and 14% of the patients were hypothermic. These data allow 2 conclusions: 1.

Whether camostat mesylate is able to lower disease burden in coronavirus disease 2019 sepsis is currently unknown. Design: Retrospective observational case series. Setting: Patient treated in ICU of University hospital Göttingen, Germany. Patients: Eleven critical ill coronavirus disease 2019 patients with organ failure were treated in ICU. Interventions: Compassionate use of camostat mesylate (six patients, camostat group) or hydroxychloroquine (five patients, hydroxychloroquine group). Measurements and Main Results: Clinical courses were assessed by Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment score at days 1, 3, and 8. Further, viral load, oxygenation, and inflammatory markers were determined. Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment score was comparable between camostat and hydroxychloroquine groups upon ICU admission. During observation, the Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment score decreased in the camostat group but remained elevated in the hydroxychloroquine group. The decline in disease severity in camostat mesylate treated patients was paralleled by a decline in inflammatory markers and improvement of oxygenation. Conclusions: The severity of coronavirus disease 2019 decreased upon camostat mesylate treatment within a period of 8 days and a similar effect was not observed in patients receiving hydroxychloroquine. Camostat mesylate thus warrants further evaluation within randomized clinical trials."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2020"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1097/CCE.0000000000000284"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/17663"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/92088"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Migrated from goescholar"],["dc.relation.eissn","2639-8028"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Universitätsmedizin Göttingen"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.title","Camostat Mesylate May Reduce Severity of Coronavirus Disease 2019 Sepsis: A First Observation"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Multiple mechanisms underlie this phenomenon, including CPB-dependent haemolysis. Haemoglobin is released during haemolysis, and free haemoglobin (frHb) causes tubular cell injury after exceeding the binding capacity of haptoglobin (Hp). The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of perioperative changes in frHb and Hp levels on the incidence of CS-associated (CSA) AKI. After receiving local ethics committee approval and obtaining informed consent from our patients, we analysed the data pertaining to 154 patients undergoing CPB surgery. We recorded frHb and Hp concentrations pre-, intra- and postoperatively and defined AKI using the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) classification. We observed that frHb levels increased significantly during surgery and then decreased at ten hours thereafter and that Hp levels decreased during surgery and remained at low levels until the first postoperative day. We noted a moderate negative correlation between frHb and Hp levels. AKI was identified in 45.5% of patients; however, there was no significant difference in frHb or Hp levels between patients with and without AKI. We did not observe a relationship between frHb or Hp levels and CSA AKI and thus could not confirm the hypothesis that patients with higher baseline Hp concentrations experience a lower incidence of AKI than patients with lower baseline Hp concentrations."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1177/0310057X1704500109"],["dc.identifier.eissn","1448-0271"],["dc.identifier.isi","000392257300009"],["dc.identifier.issn","0310-057X"],["dc.identifier.pmid","28072936"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/77317"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-354"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.publisher","Australian Soc Anaesthetists"],["dc.relation.issn","1448-0271"],["dc.relation.issn","0310-057X"],["dc.title","Haptoglobin and free haemoglobin during cardiac surgery-is there a link to acute kidney injury?"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

This challenge includes the avoidance of perioperative hypothermia to reduce the associated adverse effects, length of stay and treatment costs. Due to the medical and economic relevance the national S3 guidelines for the prevention of perioperative hypothermia were recently published. This study presents and analyses the reality of utilization of thermal management in German hospitals depending on the size of the hospital, which is based on the number of beds. Based on the data of an online survey among all members of the German Society of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine about perioperative thermal management, a subgroup analysis differentiating between the size of hospitals was performed. The survey included questions about the structural and organizational conditions, the practical implementation of temperature measurement and warming therapy and the developmental status of clinical standard operating procedures (SOP) and educational training. Comparing the structural quality, major differences were found with respect to the availability of core body temperature measurement and the provision of warming devices especially at different peripheral anesthesia workplaces as well as the existence of SOPs and educational training. The availability increased with hospital size. With respect to process quality, the frequency of prewarming increased with hospital size as well as the frequency of intraoperative temperature measurements during different anesthesia procedures. Major differences were found in several aspects of perioperative thermal management depending on the hospital size. The main potential for improvement was found in smaller hospitals.

It offers a number of practical and theoretical advantages when compared to conventional translaryngeal oro- or nasotracheal intubation, but is also associated with a number of serious complications. In the last 20 years, several retrospective studies, randomized prospective trials, and meta-analyses have been published to determine the best timing for tracheostomy. However, these studies presented conflicting results. All studies performed so far in a prospective randomized fashion were relatively small and underpowered. Currently, several large controlled randomized studies are underway that will hopefully help physicians make better evidence-based decisions on the timing of tracheostomy. Based on our current knowledge, the following recommendations might be made on a low level of evidence: on day 2 or 3 after onset of mechanical ventilation (>48 h of mechanical ventilation or need for an artificial airway) tracheostomy should be seriously considered. Before decisions are made, several questions should be answered: Is the situation suitable for tracheostomy? Are there relevant contraindications for the performance of a tracheostomy? What is the most likely course of the underlying respiratory insufficiency? What is the likelihood the patient will stay in need of invasive mechanical ventilation for more than a week, either because of an ongoing impairment of oxygenation, weaning failure, upper airway obstruction, coma or a swallowing disorder? If no relevant contraindication is present and if the need for invasive mechanical ventilation can be expected to last for more than one week, tracheostomy should be planned and performed within the next 2 days."],["dc.identifier.isi","000266482100005"],["dc.identifier.pmid","18946428"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/16673"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Edizioni Minerva Medica"],["dc.relation.issn","0375-9393"],["dc.title","Timing of tracheostomy"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The questionnaire contained mainly questions focusing on the following areas: infrastructure of the workplaces, equipment used to measure core temperature and to warm patients, actual perioperative thermal management and available standards. The results were compared to the recommendations of the 2014 S3 Guideline for the prevention of perioperative hypothermia. Especially in the central O.R. units most of the recommendations have already been implemented. However, the actual prewarming strategies do not comply with the recommendations, so that there seems to be a large potential for improvement. Other areas with potential for improvement are the anaesthesia workplaces outside the central O.R. unit like emergency rooms, delivery rooms and radiological and cardiological intervention rooms.

Methods: This guideline is based on a systematic review of the literature up to and including October 2012 and a further one from November 2012 to August 2014. The recommendations were developed and agreed upon by representatives of five medical specialty societies in a structured consensus process. Results: The patient's core temperature should be measured 1-2 hours before the start of anesthesia, and either continuously or every 15 minutes during surgery. Depending on the nature of the operation, the site of temperature measurement should be oral, naso-/oropharyngeal, esophageal, vesical, or tympanic (direct). The patient should be actively prewarmed 20-30 minutes before surgery to counteract the decline in temperature. Prewarmed patients must be actively warmed intraoperatively as well if the planned duration of anesthesia is longer than 60 minutes (without prewarming, 30 minutes). The ambient temperature in the operating room should be at least 21 degrees C for adult patients and at least 24 degrees C for children. Infusions and blood transfusions that are given at rates of >500 ml/h should be warmed first. Perioperatively, the largest possible area of the body surface should be thermally insulated. Emergence from general anesthesia should take place at normal body temperature. Postoperative hypothermia, if present, should be treated by the administration of convective or conductive heat until normothermia is achieved. Shivering can be treated with medications. Conclusion: Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia can adversely affect the outcome of surgery and the patient's postoperative course. It should be actively prevented."],["dc.identifier.isi","000357846600011"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/36924"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Aktiv Druck & Verlag Gmbh"],["dc.relation.issn","0170-5334"],["dc.title","S3-Guideline: Avoid unintentional perioperative Hypothermia"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
