[Prehospital analgesia with nalbuphine and paracetamol compared to piritramide by paramedics-A multicenter observational study].

Objective: Following recent changes to the German Narcotics Act, this article examines prehospital analgesia by paramedics using piritramide vs. nalbuphine + paracetamol.

Material And Methods: Prehospital analgesia administered by paramedics from the Fulda (piritramide) and Gütersloh (nalbuphine + paracetamol) emergency services was compared regarding pain intensity at the beginning and end of the mission, measured using the numeric rating scale (NRS).

Effectiveness and safety of prehospital analgesia with nalbuphine and paracetamol versus morphine by paramedics - an observational study.

Background: Despite the development of various analgesic concepts, prehospital oligoanalgesia remains very common. The present work examines prehospital analgesia by paramedics using morphine vs. nalbuphine + paracetamol.

Prehospital ultrasound-guided nerve blocks improve reduction-feasibility of dislocated extremity injuries compared to systemic analgesia. A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Out-of-hospital analgosedation in trauma patients is challenging for emergency physicians due to associated complications. We compared peripheral nerve block (PNB) with analgosedation (AS) as an analgetic approach for patients with isolated extremity injury, assuming that prehospital required medical interventions (e.g.

No association between CALCA polymorphisms and clinical outcome or serum procalcitonin levels in German polytrauma patients.

Purpose: Procalcitonin (PCT) is accepted to be a relevant prognostic marker for the development of clinical complications in multiple trauma patients. Therefore, a prospective cohort study was conducted to investigate whether polymorphisms in the calcitonin (CALCA) gene are associated with PCT levels and posttraumatic complications.

Methods: During a 14day observation period, blood samples were drawn once daily for systemic PCT concentrations in multiple trauma patients (Injury Severity Score >16).
