Purpose: Our aim was to develop new evidence-based and consensus-based recommendations for the initial inhospital management of lower-extremity injuries in patients with multiple and/or severe trauma. This guideline topic is part of the 2022 update of the German Guideline on the Treatment of Patients with multiple and/or severe Injuries.
Methods: MEDLINE and Embase were systematically searched to May 2021.
Objectives: The aim of this billing data analysis was to examine the implementation of the second opinion directive in Germany and to investigate how often informing patients about their right to a second opinion (SO) and obtaining a SO are documented.
Methods: To examine the frequency of "informing about SO" and "obtaining an SO", insured patients who received an indication for tonsillectomy, tonsillotomy or hysterectomy in 2019 or 2020 were included, as well as insured patients who received an indication for shoulder arthroscopy in Q2-Q3 2020. Data were analyzed descriptively.
Article Synopsis
- The guideline update aimed to improve how blunt or penetrating chest injuries are treated in patients with severe injuries, based on the latest evidence and expert consensus.
- A systematic review of literature was conducted, focusing on various types of studies related to surgical interventions for severe chest injuries, and important patient outcomes were assessed.
- One significant study influenced the recommendations, leading to updates on surgical intervention criteria for blood loss and introducing new good practice points regarding video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for stable patients.
Purpose: Our aim was to review and update the existing evidence-based and consensus-based recommendations for the management of chest injuries in patients with multiple and/or severe injuries in the prehospital setting. This guideline topic is part of the 2022 update of the German Guideline on the Treatment of Patients with Multiple and/or Severe Injuries.
Methods: MEDLINE and Embase were systematically searched to May 2021.
Background: A Second Opinion Directive (SOD) was introduced in Germany in December 2018 for elective surgeries such as hysterectomy, tonsillotomy, tonsillectomy, and shoulder arthroscopy. The aim of the SOD is to avoid surgeries which are not medically induced and to support patients in their decision-making process. A physician who indicates an SOD-relevant procedure must inform the patient about the SOD and its specifications.
