A novel pharmacological treatment concept for neuroprotection in severe traumatic brain injury-Two case reports.

Severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) is a major cause of death and disability worldwide, resulting in a significant individual and socioeconomic burden. Current treatment guidelines do not include any recommendations for neuroprotective or neuoregenerative drugs. Here, we present a combined treatment with Cerebrolysin and Citicoline in two cases.

Use of the GlideScope Ranger Video Laryngoscope for Emergency Intubation in the Prehospital Setting: A Randomized Control Trial.

Objectives: We sought to assess whether the GlideScope Ranger video laryngoscope may be a reliable alternative to direct laryngoscopy in the prehospital setting.

Design: Multicenter, prospective, randomized, control trial with patient recruitment over 18 months.

Setting: Four study centers operating physician-staffed rescue helicopters or ground units in Austria and Norway.
