Basic resuscitation skills of medical students - a monocenter randomized simulation trial.

The aim of this study was to evaluate resuscitation skills, defined as recognition of resuscitation situations and performance of Basic Life Support (BLS) in students at the Brandenburg Model Medical School (BMM). Participating students (n=102) were randomized to different simulation scenarios: unconscious person with physiological breathing (15/min), gasping (<10/min) and apnea (resuscitation dummy AmbuMan Wireless with electronic recording). Primary endpoint was the proportion of students with correct decision for or against resuscitation.

[Treatment, clinical course, and cross-sectoral information transmission in patients with acute-on-chronic kidney injury].

Background: Delayed diagnosis and undertherapy of acute-on-chronic kidney injury (AKI-on-CKD) may trigger multiple organ injury and worsen clinical outcome.

Objectives: This study focused on description of in-hospital care and cross-sectoral information transmission of patients with AKI-on-CKD including subgroup analyses (under surgical vs. non-surgical and nephrology vs.
