Acute emergency care and airway management of caustic ingestion in adultsStruck, Manuel F., Beilicke, André, Hoffmeister, Albrecht, Gockel, Ines, Gries, André, Wrigge, Hermann, Bernhard, Michael 20 June 2016 (has links) (PDF)
Background: Caustic ingestions are rare but potentially life-threatening events requiring multidisciplinary emergency approaches. Although particularly respiratory functions may be impaired after caustic ingestions, studies involving acute emergency care are scarce. The goal of this study was to explore acute emergency care with respect to airway management and emergency department (ED) infrastructures. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated adult patients after caustic ingestions admitted to our university hospital over a 10-year period (2005–2014). Prognostic analysis included age, morbidity, ingested agent, airway management, interventions (endoscopy findings, computed tomography (CT), surgical procedures), intensive care unit (ICU) admission, length of stay in hospital and hospital mortality. Results: Twenty-eight patients with caustic ingestions were included in the analysis of which 18 (64 %) had suicidal intentions. Ingested agents were caustic alkalis (n = 22; 79 %) and acids (n = 6; 21 %). ICU admission was required in 20 patients (71 %). Fourteen patients (50 %) underwent tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation, of which 3
(21 %) presented with difficult airways. Seven patients (25 %) underwent tracheotomy including one requiring awake tracheotomy due to progressive upper airway obstruction. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) was performed in 21 patients (75 %) and 11 (39 %) underwent CT examination. Five patients (18 %) required emergency surgery with a mortality of 60 %. Overall hospital mortality was 18 % whereas the need for tracheal intubation (P = 0.012), CT-diagnostic (P = 0.001), higher EGD score (P = 0.006), tracheotomy (P = 0.048), and surgical interventions (P = 0.005) were significantly associated with mortality. Conclusions: Caustic ingestions in adult patients require an ED infrastructure providing 24/7-availability of expertise in establishing emergent airway safety, endoscopic examination (EGD and bronchoscopy), and CT diagnostic, intensive care
and emergency esophageal surgery. We recommend that - even in patients with apparently stable clinical conditions - careful monitoring of respiratory functions should be considered as long as diagnostic work-up is completed.

Notfallmanagement für berufsbedingte traumatische Ereignisse11 June 2024 (has links)
Die Unfallkasse Sachsen stellt den Verantwortlichen
zur Thematik „Notfallmanagement“ eine Handlungshilfe
zur Verfügung.
Dieses Material versteht sich als eine inhaltliche
Untersetzung des DGUV Grundsatzes 306-
001 „Traumatische Ereignisse - Prävention und
Rehabilitation“. Mit Bezug auf traumatische
Ereignisse werden beispielhaft Maßnahmen
zur Prävention (Davor), zum Verhalten in der
Notfallsituation (Darin) und zur Nachsorge
(Danach) aufgezeigt.
Für Schulen steht das Arbeitsschutzmanagementsystem
–Schule- Handbuch Teil II -Gefahrstoff-,
Biostoff- und Notfallmanagement- zur
Verfügung.
