Current practice in neurocritical care of patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage and severe traumatic brain injury : Results of the Austrian Neurosurvey Study.

Wien Klin Wochenschr

September 2016

Department of Anaesthesiology, Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Karl Landsteiner Institute of Emergency Medicine, General Hospital Wiener Neustadt, Corvinusring 3-5, 2700, Wiener Neustadt, Austria.

Objectives: The task force Neuroanaesthesia of the Austrian Society of Anaesthesiology, Resuscitation and Intensive Care Medicine (ÖGARI) is aiming to develop and provide recommendations in order to improve neurocritical care in Austria. Thus, a survey on neurocritical care concepts in Austria regarding intensive care of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) was performed to assess the current status.

Methods: An online internet questionnaire comprising 59 items on current concepts of SAH and TBI critical care was sent to 117 anaesthesiology departments.

Neurophysiological effects of needle trauma and intraneural injection in a porcine model: a pilot study.

Acta Anaesthesiol Scand

March 2016

Department of Anaesthesiology, Academic Medical Centre, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Background: Neurophysiological data are lacking in the research of nerve injury during regional anaesthesia. The aim of this pilot study was to establish a large animal model in order to test the hypothesis that needle trauma alone or in combination with intraneural injection would result in measurable nerve injury.

Methods: The experimental set-up was elaborated in four pre-test animals.

Effect of coagulation factor concentrate administration on ROTEM® parameters in major trauma.

Scand J Trauma Resusc Emerg Med

October 2015

Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Experimental and Clinical Traumatology, AUVA Research Centre, Vienna, Austria.

Background: Purified coagulation factor concentrates, such as fibrinogen concentrate (FC) and prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) are increasingly used as haemostatic therapy for trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC). The impact of FC and PCC administration on ROTEM parameters among patients with TIC has not been adequately investigated.

Methods: In this retrospective observational study, changes to ROTEM parameters, induced by three different therapeutic interventions, were investigated: patients receiving FC only (FC-group); patients treated with FC and PCC (FC + PCC-group) and patients treated with PCC only (PCC-group).

Asphyxia by Drowning Induces Massive Bleeding Due To Hyperfibrinolytic Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation.

Crit Care Med

November 2015

1Department of Clinical Pharmacology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria. 2Department of Emergency Medicine, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria. 3Division of Hematology and Hemostaseology, Department of Internal Medicine I, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria. 4Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, AUVA Trauma Centre Salzburg, Salzburg, Austria.

Objective: To date, no study has systematically investigated the impact of drowning-induced asphyxia on hemostasis. Our objective was to test the hypothesis that asphyxia induces bleeding by hyperfibrinolytic disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Design: Observational study.

Tranexamic acid, fibrinogen concentrate, and prothrombin complex concentrate: data to support prehospital use?

Shock

May 2014

*AUVA Trauma Centre Salzburg, Academic Teaching Hospital of the Paracelsus Medical University Salzburg, Salzburg; and †Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Experimental and Clinical and Traumatology, AUVA Research Centre, Vienna, Austria; and ‡Department of Trauma and Orthopedic Surgery, University of Witten/Herdecke, Cologne-Merheim Medical Center, Cologne, Germany.

Trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) occurs early after severe injury. TIC is associated with a substantial increase in bleeding rate, transfusion requirements, and a 4-fold higher mortality. Rapid surgical control of blood loss and early aggressive hemostatic therapy are essential steps in improving survival.
