<p><br />Rapid Emergency Medicine Score (REMS) merupakan suatu sistem skor yang telah digunakan secara luas di berbagai negara untuk memprediksi mortalitas pasien non bedah maupun trauma di Instalasi Gawat Darurat (IGD), tetapi belum diuji pada populasi yang spesifik pada trauma kepala. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menilai performa REMS dalam memprediksi outcome pasien trauma kepala di IGD. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain observasi analitik dengan pendekatan retrospektif. Sampel menggunakan data rekam medis pasien dengan trauma kepala sedang-berat disesuaikan dengan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi dan digunakan teknik purposive sampling yaitu sebanyak 181 responden. Analisis bivariat yang dilakukan pada penelitian ini menggunakan uji Somers'd, sedangkan analisis multivariat menggunakan regresi logistik ordinal. Selanjutnya, kemampuan untuk memprediksi outcome dinilai menggunakan analisis the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC). Hasil uji bivariat menunjukkan bahwa nilai somers'd REMS sebesar 0,310 dengan p value &lt;0,001 dan arah hubungan positif dengan outcome pasien trauma kepala. Hasil regresi logistik ordinal menunjukkan parameter Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) memperoleh Odds Ratio sebesar 0,7, artinya skor GCS yang rendah memiliki risiko memperoleh outcome death sebesar 0,7 kali lebih besar dibandingkan memperoleh outcome moderate disability, severe disability, persisten vegetatif state. Nilai Area Under Curve (AUC) REMS pada cut of point &gt;5 dengan sensitivitas 61,4 dan spesifisitas 77,8 adalah 0,753 (95% CI; 0,683-0,814. REMS menunjukkan performa yang baik dalam memprediksi outcome pasien trauma kepala.</p>

Zusammenfassung. Hintergrund: Die Abhängigkeit von Opioiden ist mit erheblichen gesundheitlichen Gefährdungen der Betroffenen und einer hohen Mortalität assoziiert. Derzeit werden insbesondere die dramatisch gestiegenen Mortalitätsraten in den USA diskutiert (‚opioid crisis‘), aber auch in Deutschland war in den letzten Jahren ein kontinuierlicher Anstieg der Drogentoten, überwiegend verursacht durch Opioide, zu verzeichnen. Die Risiken einer Opioid Überdosierung bzw. Intoxikation resultiert vor allem aus der hemmenden Wirkung der Opioide auf den Atemantrieb, die durch andere gleichzeitig konsumierte Substanzen noch verstärkt werden kann. Neben Erstmaßnahmen (Notruf, lebensrettende Basismaßnahmen der Ersten Hilfe) kommt auch der Einsatz des Opioidantagonisten Naloxon in Betracht. Methode: Literaturrecherche in PubMed, Cochrane Library und im International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number (ISRCTN) Register. Ergebnisse: Auch aus ethischen Gründen liegen bislang eher wenig systematische Untersuchungen zum nicht-ärztlichen Einsatz von Naloxon bei Opioidüberdosierung vor. Trotzdem kann nach aktuellem Stand geschlussfolgert werden, dass die intranasale Verabreichung vergleichbar wirksam mit einer intramuskulären Anwendung zu sein scheint. Bei Überdosierten, die nach erfolgreichem Naloxon-Einsatz aus unterschiedlichen Gründen nicht in einer Klinik gebracht wurden, wurden in ca. 1 %. Todesfälle dokumentiert. Falls 60 min nach Naloxongabe unauffällige Vitalparameter und auf der Glasgow Coma Scale mind. 15 Punkte erreicht werden, besteht wohl ein sehr niedriges Rebound-Risiko. Im Vergleich dazu ist das Auftreten von Naloxon-induzierten Entzugssyndromen deutlich häufiger, hängen jedoch von der Dosis und dem konsumierten Opioid ab, wie auch von der verabreichten Naloxon-Dosis. Schlussfolgerungen: Naloxon kann mittlerweile auch in Deutschland als zugelassenes Nasalspray verabreicht werden und ist daher im Prinzip auch für den Einsatz durch Ersthelfer geeignet. Verbesserte Rahmenbedingungen, wie z. B. spezifische Schulungen könnten dazu beitragen, Take-Home Naloxon als erfolgreichen Baustein zur Reduktion von Drogentod zu implementieren.

Background: We aimed to assess the effects of modulated neuroprotection with intermittent administration in patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods: Retrospective analysis of 60 patients divided into two groups, with and without neuroprotective treatment with Actovegin, Cerebrolysin, pyritinol, L-phosphothreonine, L-glutamine, hydroxocobalamin, alpha-lipoic acid, carotene, DL-α-tocopherol, ascorbic acid, thiamine, pyridoxine, cyanocobalamin, Q 10 coenzyme, and L-carnitine alongside standard treatment. Main outcome measures: Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) after TBI, Extended Glasgow Coma Scale (GOS E), Disability Rankin Scale (DRS), Functional Independence Measurement (FIM), and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA), all assessed at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after TBI. Results: Patients receiving neuroprotective treatment recovered more rapidly from UWS than controls (p = 0.007) passing through a state of minimal consciousness and gradually progressing until the final evaluation (p = 0.000), towards a high cognitive level MOCA = 22 ± 6 points, upper moderate disability GOS-E = 6 ± 1, DRS = 6 ± 4, and an assisted gait, FIM =101 ± 25. The improvement in cognitive and physical functioning was strongly correlated with lower UWS duration (−0.8532) and higher GCS score (0.9803). Conclusion: Modulated long-term neuroprotection may be the therapeutic key for patients to overcome UWS after severe TBI.

The aim of this study was to investigate effectiveness of the poisoning severity score (PSS), Glasgow coma scale (GCS), and corrected QT (QTc) interval in predicting outcomes in acute organophosphates (OP) poisoning. Over a period of 2 years, 62 patients with OP poisoning were admitted to emergency department (ED) of Erciyes University Medical School Hospital. The age, sex, cause of contact, compound involved, time elapsed between exposure and admission to the ED, duration of hospital stay, and cardiac manifestations at the time of presentation were recorded. GCS and poisoning severity score (PSS) was calculated for each patient. Electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis included the rate, rhythm, ST-T abnormalities, conduction defects, and measurement of PR and QT intervals. Sixty-two patients with OP poisoning presented to our ED from January 2007 to December 2008 from which 54 patients were included in the study. The mean age was 34.1 ± 14.8 years. Of the cases, 53.7% were female. Twenty-six patients had a prolonged QTc interval. Mean PSS of men and women was 1.8 ± 1.0. No statistically significant correlation was found between the PSS and QTc intervals of the cases. A significant correlation was determined between the GCS and PSS of grade 3 and grade 4 cases. GCS is a parameter that helps clinician to identify advanced grade OP poisoning patients in the initial assessment in the ED. However, ECG findings, such as prolonged QTc interval, are not effective in determination of short-term prognosis and show no relationship with PSS.

Abstract BACKGROUND Retroclival epidural hematomas (REDHs) are infrequently reported. To our knowledge, only 19 case reports exist in the literature. OBJECTIVE This study was performed to better elucidate this pathology. METHODS We prospectively collected data for all pediatric patients diagnosed with REDH from July 2006 through June 2009. Data included mechanism of injury, Glasgow Coma Scale score, neurological examination, treatment modality, and outcome. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to measure REDH dimensions. RESULTS Eight children were diagnosed with REDH, and the hematomas were secondary to motor vehicle–related trauma in all cases. The mean age of patients was 12 years (range 4–17 years). The mean REDH height (craniocaudal) was 4.0 cm, and the mean thickness (dorsoventral) was 1.0 cm. At presentation, the mean Glasgow Coma Scale score was 8 (range 3–14), and there was no correlation between hematoma size and presenting symptoms. Two patients died soon after injury, and 2 additional patients had atlanto-occipital dislocation that required surgical intervention. No patient underwent surgical evacuation of the REDH. The mean follow-up was 14 months. At most recent follow-up, 4 patients are neurologically intact, 1 patient has a complete spinal cord injury, and 1 patient has mild bilateral abducens nerve palsy. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this study of 8 pediatric patients is the largest series of patients with REDH thus far reported. Based on our study, we found that REDH is likely to be underdiagnosed, atlanto-occipital dislocation should be considered in all cases of REDH, and many patients with REDH will have minimal long-term neurological injury.
