[en] Objective: To evaluate the treatment of aneurysms rupture during endovascular embolization. Methods: Nine aneurysms ruptured during the embolization and were treated with endovascular embolization. The reasons of aneurysms rupture during embolization, the prevention and the first aid after aneurysms rupture were analysed. Results: Seven patients recovered and 2 died. Conclusions: The optimal treatment of aneurysms rupture during endovascular embolization is effective. (authors)

[en] This publication is aimed at doctors, paramedics and nursing personnel who especially in small communities and in developing countries, but also in highly industrialized countries can be faced with overexposures and have the task of taking the first decisions about the victims. It provides basic information about radioactivity, radiation and radiation accidents, radiation burns, external and internal contamination by radioactive materials, acute radiation syndrome and the late effects of radiation. In addition, a list of recommended equipment and medications sufficient to allow first aid treatment of acute radiation exposed or contaminated individuals is given. 7 tabs

[en] Taking the pretend out of the emergency is discussed in this manual on emergency response training. The following suggestions are made: (1) plan credible emergency situations, (2) select plausible locations, (3) write scenarios, (4) tailor situations to locations, (5) involve other organizations, (6) make injuries look realistic, and (7) let employees take part

[en] The author presents definitions, considerations, and fundamentals of discussion. He starts by listing the institutions, equipment and traning required for medical care and life-saving services in cases of emergency. A central coordination service for medical care and life saving is proposed. The present situation is reviewed, future needs are stated, and the necessary components of a medical service are listed.

[en] Highlights: • The mean visualization length of the Eustachian tube and its bony segment is significantly higher in healthy sides than in pathological sides. • The cross-sectional size of the tympanic orifice may be a specific imaging feature indicating the obstructive Eustachian tube. • However, 3D morphologic measurements of the Eustachian tube are insufficient to yield useful data about its function. To investigate the diagnostic value of three-dimensional morphologic measurements of the Eustachian tube on computed tomography in Eustachian tube dysfunction.

[en] Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) may be considered as a rescue attempt for highly selected patients with refractory cardiac arrest and potentially reversible aetiology. Currently, there are no randomised, controlled studies on eCPR. Thus, prospective validated predictors of benefit and outcome are lacking. Currently, selection criteria and procedure techniques differ across hospitals and standardised algorithms are lacking. Based on expert opinion, the present consensus statement provides a first standardised treatment algorithm for eCPR.
