Safety and efficacy of 6% hydroxyethyl starch in patients undergoing major surgery Open
BACKGROUND Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is often used for maintaining vascular volume during major surgery. Long-term high-dose HES in septic patients promotes renal injury, whereas meta-analyses of current HES products in surgical patients d…

The Tracheotomized Patient for Anesthesia Open
The increasing number of tracheostomized patients means that it is becoming more and more necessary to be aware of the special aspects associated with this type of airway access. For an anesthetic treatment, it is essential to know the dif…

Anaesthetic efficacy and postinduction hypotension with remimazolam compared with propofol: a multicentre randomised controlled trial Open
Summary Remimazolam, a short‐acting benzodiazepine, may be used for induction and maintenance of total intravenous anaesthesia, but its role in the management of patients with multiple comorbidities remains unclear. In this phase 3 randomi…

Single chest drain is not inferior to double chest drain after robotic esophagectomy: a propensity score-matched analysis Open
Background Chest drain management has a significant influence on postoperative recovery after robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE). The use of chest drains increases postoperative pain by irritating intercostal nerves an…

Outcome of Emergency Pulmonary Lobectomy under ECMO Support in Patients with COVID-19 Open
Background Not much is known about the results of nonelective anatomical lung resections in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients put on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The aim of this study was to analyze the outcome of…

Significance of Pulmonary Endothelial Injury and the Role of Cyclooxygenase-2 and Prostanoid Signaling Open
The endothelium plays a key role in the dynamic balance of hemodynamic, humoral and inflammatory processes in the human body. Its central importance and the resulting therapeutic concepts are the subject of ongoing research efforts and for…

Impact of self-coiling catheters for continuous popliteal sciatic block on postoperative pain level and dislocation rate: a randomized controlled trial Open
Background Dislocation of catheters within the tissue is a challenge in continuous regional anesthesia. A novel self-coiling catheter design is available and has demonstrated a lower dislocation rate in a cadaver model. The dislocation rat…

Use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in non-elective major thoracic surgery for infectious lung abscess Open
OBJECTIVES Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support for elective cardiothoracic surgery is well established. In contrast, there are not much data regarding the usefulness and outcome of ECMO in non-elective major lung resections …

Impact of Self-Coiling Catheters for Continuous Popliteal Sciatic Block on Postoperative Pain Level and Dislocation Rate: A Randomized Controlled Trial Open
Background : Catheter dislocation within the tissue is a challenge in continuous regional anesthesia. A novel self-coiling catheter design has been available providing lower dislocation rate in a cadaver model. So far it hasn´t been demons…

Detection of the pulp-froth interface using the ultrasound transit time technique Open
The vertical position of the pulp-froth interface in a flotation cell is an important parameter in froth flotation processes which needs to be controlled in situ. For this purpose, we introduce the ultrasound transit time technique (UTTT),…

Measurement techniques for liquid metals Open
The measurement of flow properties of liquid metals, such as flow rate, flow structure and gas distribution, is a challenging task due to the opaqueness, the high temperatures (e. g. 1500 °C for liquid steel or liquid silicon) and the corr…

Acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome Open
Every year, more information accumulates about the possibility of treating patients with acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome with specially designed mechanical ventilation strategies. Ventilator modes, positive end-exp…

Reduced pulmonary blood flow in regions of injury 2 hours after acid aspiration in rats Open
The PBF pattern 2 hours after aspiration-induced lung injury showed a redistribution of PBF away from injured regions that was likely responsible for the partial recovery from hypoxemia over time. Treatments given intravenously 2 hours aft…
