Comparative StudyStatistical modelling in analysis of outcome after trauma Glasgow-Coma-Scale and Innsbruck-Coma-Scale.
The current study investigated the Glasgow-Coma-Scale (GCS) and the Innsbruck-Coma-Scale (ICS) for accuracy and reliability of prehospital prediction of non-survival. ⋯ The results of the present study not only suggest that it is possible to predict mortality prior to therapy for any individual GCS and ICS coma score, but also indicated the ICS to be safer to use than the GCS because of the greater distance of the median scores for survivors and non survivors.

Comparative Study[Effects of desflurane on liver microcirculation in comparison with isoflurane and pentobarbital. An intravital microscopy study in the rat].
It is well known that the volatile anaesthetics halothane, enflurane and isoflurane alter hepatic blood flow in a dose-dependent manner. However, there are only a few studies investigating the effect of the new anaesthetic desflurane on the hepatic blood flow. In particular no information is available about the influence of desflurane on liver microcirculation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of desflurane in comparison to isoflurane and pentobarbital on microcirculation of the liver in vivo using intravital fluorescence microscopy. ⋯ Hepatic microcirculation is not affected by one-hour anaesthesia with 0.75 MAC isoflurane or desflurane in comparison to pentobarbital.

[Education of the medical student in first aid, emergency and disaster medicine--the Graz model].
In Austria emergency and disaster medicine is a young interdisciplinary subject. It is only a borderline discipline encompassing different medical subjects and was subdivided into emergency medicine for medical doctors only and first-aid for lay people and emergency technicians. ⋯ According to the three steps of the study lectures and practices, all parts of first-aid, emergency and disaster medicine were offered. In spite of the short time since this has been running, we found a good acceptance and we hope to increase the interest evinced by medical students in our training programme.

The influence of the double burst stimulation (DBS) pattern on the DBS-train-of-four ratio relationship.
The double-burst-stimulation (DBS) is a new stimulation pattern developed to facilitate tactile evaluation of residual neuromuscular blockade. DBS consists of two bursts of high frequency stimulations separated by a short time interval. ⋯ At any chosen level of reversal defined by a TOF ratio, it should therefore be possible to construct a DBS ratio, where fade just can be detected by tactile evaluation.
