Prehospital neurological emergencies– a survey on the state of prehospital neurological assessment by emergency medical professionals Open
Background Neurological emergencies are one of the major diagnosis groups in the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) with the highest rate of misdiagnosis. Despite the knowledge of time sensitivity and the importance of prehospital factors, p…

Where Do We Stand on Cervical Spine Immobilisation? A Questionnaire among Prehospital Staff Open
Background: Cervical collars (CC) are routinely used in prehospital trauma treatment. However, over the past years, their application was discussed more critically since they increase intravenous pressure due to reduced venous drainage and…

Do admission glucose levels independently predict coagulopathy in multiple trauma patients? A retrospective cohort analysis Open
Background Coagulopathy is prevalent in multiple trauma patients and worsens bleeding complications, leading to higher morbidity and mortality rates. Hyperglycemia upon admission predicts hemorrhagic shock and mortality in severely injured…

Posterior acetabular wall morphology is an independent risk factor that affects the occurrence of acetabular wall fracture in patients with traumatic, posterior hip dislocation Open
Purpose Smaller posterior acetabular walls have been shown to independently influence the risk for bipolar hip dislocation. We asked whether differences would also be observed in patients with traumatic posterior hip dislocation with and w…

Lung Transplantation following Emergency Pneumonectomy in a Polytraumatized 18-Year-Old Open
Introduction. On rare occasions, a pneumonectomy needs to be performed after a severe polytrauma. Statistically, this procedure increases the mortality rate to 50%. One option to reduce this high rate could be an organ transplantation if a…

Cytological Effects of Serum Isolated from Polytraumatized Patients on Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Open
Due to their immunomodulatory and regenerative capacity, human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) are promising in the treatment of patients suffering from polytrauma. However, few studies look at the effects of sera from …
