Background: The use of emergency medical services (EMS) in Germany has increased substantially over the last few decades. While current reform efforts aim to increase effectiveness and efficiency of the German hospital and EMS systems, there is lack of data on characteristics of hospital cases using EMS.

Objectives: To analyze and compare the characteristics of cases hospitalized with and without the use of EMS.

Materials and methods: The BARMER health insurance data on more than 2 million hospital cases admitted in 2022 were analyzed. The distributions of age, clinical complexity (measured by patient clinical complexity levels, PCCL), main diagnoses, costs for EMS and hospital treatment, and multiple severity indicators were described. The overall severity of hospital cases was classified as "low or moderate" or "high" based on a combined severity indicator. All analyses were stratified by use of EMS and EMS type.

Results: A total of 28% of all included hospital cases used EMS. Relative to hospital cases without use of EMS, hospital cases with use of EMS were older (physician-staffed ambulance: 75 years, interquartile range [IQR] 59-84, double-crewed ambulance: 78 years, IQR 64-85) and had a higher clinical complexity. The severity of more than 30% of the cases using EMS (except for patient transport service ambulance) was classified as "low or moderate". The distributions of main diagnoses differed by severity and use of EMS.

Conclusions: The high proportion of cases with low or moderate severity using EMS may indicate a substantial potential to avoid the use of EMS in the context of hospital admissions in Germany. Further investigation is required to explore whether the proportion of cases using EMS could be reduced by optimizing preclinical service.

背景:过去几十年来,德国急救医疗服务(EMS)的使用率大幅提高。虽然目前的改革旨在提高德国医院和急救医疗系统的有效性和效率,但缺乏有关使用急救医疗系统的住院病例特征的数据:分析并比较使用和未使用 EMS 的住院病例特征:分析了 BARMER 医疗保险数据中 2022 年入院的 200 多万病例。描述了年龄、临床复杂性(以患者临床复杂性等级PCCL衡量)、主要诊断、急救和住院治疗费用以及多种严重性指标的分布情况。住院病例的总体严重程度根据综合严重程度指标分为 "低或中度 "或 "高度"。所有分析均按使用急救服务和急救服务类型进行分层:结果:在所有纳入的医院病例中,共有 28% 使用了急救服务。与未使用急救服务的医院病例相比,使用急救服务的医院病例年龄较大(配备医生的救护车:75岁,四分位数间距[IQR]59-84;双机组救护车:78岁,四分位数间距[IQR]64-85),临床复杂程度较高。使用急救医疗服务(病人转运服务救护车除外)的病例中有 30% 以上的严重程度被归类为 "低度或中度"。主要诊断的分布因严重程度和使用急救服务而异:使用急救医疗服务的低度或中度病例比例较高,这可能表明在德国住院治疗中避免使用急救医疗服务的潜力巨大。是否可以通过优化临床前服务来降低使用急救服务的病例比例,还需要进一步调查。

Background: The advance directive and lasting power of attorney are instruments to strengthen patients' autonomy. A hospital-based palliative care consultation service can advise patients and family members about these instruments. This study investigates the need for such consultation among patients with life-limiting illness.

Methods: This prospective observational study on intensive and non-intensive care units includes patients with a request for palliative care consultation. Patient-related factors were evaluated for their possible association with the presence or absence of advance directives or power of attorney. In addition, focus group interviews with members of the palliative care consultation team were carried out to identify barriers which prevent patients from drawing up such documents.

Results: A total of 241 oncological and 53 non-oncological patients were included with a median age of 67 years; 69 (23%) patients were treated in the intensive care unit (ICU). Overall, 98 (33%) patients had advance directives, and 133 (45%) had determined a legal health care proxy in advance. A total of 52 patients died in hospital (17.7%). Only age and relationship status were associated with directives. In interviews, the following barriers were identified: information deficit, concern regarding discontinuation of treatment, loss of autonomy and wish to avoid a burden for the family.

Conclusion: The majority in this severely ill patient population lack advance directives. In order to remove barriers, more effective information and counseling is required about such directives. In particular, guidance should include potential clinical situations in which such directives are potentially beneficial.

背景:预先指示和持久授权书是加强病人自主权的工具。以医院为基础的姑息关怀咨询服务可以为患者和家属提供有关这些工具的建议。本研究调查了患有局限生命疾病的患者对此类咨询的需求:这项前瞻性观察研究的对象是重症监护病房和非重症监护病房中提出姑息关怀咨询请求的患者。对患者相关因素进行了评估,以确定这些因素是否与是否存在预先指示或授权书有关。此外,还对姑息关怀咨询团队的成员进行了焦点小组访谈,以确定阻碍患者起草此类文件的障碍:共纳入 241 名肿瘤患者和 53 名非肿瘤患者,中位年龄为 67 岁;69 名(23%)患者在重症监护室(ICU)接受治疗。总体而言,98 名(33%)患者有预先医疗指示,133 名(45%)患者事先确定了合法的医疗代理。共有 52 名患者死于医院(17.7%)。只有年龄和关系状况与预嘱有关。在访谈中,我们发现了以下障碍:信息匮乏、对中止治疗的担忧、丧失自主权以及希望避免给家人带来负担:结论:重症患者中的大多数人缺乏预先医疗指示。为了消除障碍,需要就此类预嘱提供更有效的信息和咨询。特别是,指导内容应包括此类预嘱可能有益的潜在临床情况。

[Gustav Mahler: tragic life, mysterious illness, early death : Could intensive care medicine have saved him today?] [古斯塔夫-马勒:悲惨的一生、神秘的疾病、早逝:今天的重症监护医学能否挽救他?]
IF 1.3 4区 医学 Q2 MEDICINE, GENERAL & INTERNAL Pub Date : 2025-04-01 Epub Date: 2024-04-18 DOI: 10.1007/s00063-024-01137-9
Hans-Joachim Trappe

Background: Gustav Mahler was a composer of the late Romantic period, one of the most famous conductors of his time and, as opera director, one of the most important reformers of musical theatre. Mahler's life, illnesses, death and dying are little or not at all known to many.

Objectives: Which illnesses determined Mahler's life? Could his early death have been avoided? From today's point of view, could modern intensive care medicine have helped him?

Material and methods: A detailed analysis of Mahler's diseases was performed using scientific databases (medline, pubmed). All published articles were examined in detail.

Results: Gustav Mahler was born in 1860 in Kalischt (Bohemia) and learned to play the accordion and piano at an early age. He studied music at the Vienna Conservatory from 1875 and completed his composition studies in 1878. Kapellmeister positions followed in several cities, from 1887 at the Vienna Court Opera and from 1908 at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Mahler suffered from many illnesses, especially tonsillitis and haemorrhoids. In 1907 he was diagnosed with a mitral valve defect, in 1911 he developed bacterial endocarditis caused by streptococci, as a result of which Mahler died in Vienna in 1911. His life was marked by personal and health tragedies.

Discussion: Mahler was an outstanding personality who left behind an extensive oeuvre. Among the compositional highlights are his 10 symphonies and the song compositions. Recurrent streptococcal infections led to mitral valve disease and endocarditis, the consequences of which caused Mahler's untimely death. Today's modern cardiology and intensive care medicine could have prolonged his life, but unfortunately this was not possible at the time when he was diagnosed with endocarditis.

背景古斯塔夫-马勒是浪漫主义后期的作曲家,他是当时最著名的指挥家之一,作为歌剧导演,他还是音乐剧最重要的改革者之一。许多人对马勒的生平、疾病、死亡和逝世知之甚少或一无所知:哪些疾病决定了马勒的一生?他的早逝是否可以避免?从今天的角度来看,现代重症监护医学能否帮助他?利用科学数据库(medline、pubmed)对马勒的疾病进行了详细分析。对所有发表的文章进行了详细研究:古斯塔夫-马勒 1860 年出生于波西米亚的卡利希特,自幼学习手风琴和钢琴。他自 1875 年起在维也纳音乐学院学习音乐,并于 1878 年完成作曲学业。随后,他在多个城市担任指挥,1887 年起在维也纳宫廷歌剧院,1908 年起在纽约大都会歌剧院。马勒身患多种疾病,尤其是扁桃体炎和痔疮。1907 年,他被诊断出患有二尖瓣缺陷;1911 年,他患上了由链球菌引起的细菌性心内膜炎;1911 年,马勒在维也纳去世。他的一生充满了个人和健康的悲剧:马勒是一位杰出的音乐家,留下了大量的作品。他的十部交响曲和歌曲创作是他的代表作。反复的链球菌感染导致二尖瓣疾病和心内膜炎,其后果导致马勒英年早逝。今天的现代心脏病学和重症监护医学本可以延长他的生命,但遗憾的是,在他被诊断出患有心内膜炎时还无法做到这一点。

Acute pulmonary embolism is a common and potentially fatal condition in intensive care and emergency medicine. The mortality rate within the first few hours of its occurrence is particularly high; thus, even in the event of clinical suspicion, immediate initiation of diagnostics and treatment is crucial. The current European and national guidelines on acute pulmonary embolism provide valuable and practical support on this topic and form the basis of this review. A particular focus lies in the presentation of a risk-adapted and algorithm-based diagnostic and therapeutic approach. In particular, there are new recommendations regarding risk stratification and differentiated therapy, which are discussed in this article.

[Recommendations on standard concentrations for continuous infusion of medicinal products in intensive care units].
IF 1.3 4区 医学 Q2 MEDICINE, GENERAL & INTERNAL Pub Date : 2025-04-01 Epub Date: 2025-03-20 DOI: 10.1007/s00063-025-01264-x
L Kreysing, H Hilgarth, M Bodenstein, N Haake, A Kaltwasser, J A Köck, D Meyn, R Riessen, C Waydhas, I Krämer

Background: Numerous medications are continuously administered to intensive care patients. To minimize medication errors standardized concentrations and dose adjustment by the infusion rate are recommended. This principle is already widely accepted in German intensive care units (ICUs). However, the active ingredients and concentrations used are still heterogeneous throughout the country.

Aim: The aim of the ADKA/DIVI (Bundesverband Deutscher Krankenhausapotheker/Deutsche Interdisziplinäre Vereinigung für Intensiv- und Notfallmedizin) initiative was to create a nationwide standard for adult continuous intravenous infusions in German ICUs by an expert panel.

Materials and methods: A mandated group of experts developed a nationwide standard concentration list for continuous infusion in a two-stage, consensus-based process. In stage 1, the inclusion of active substances was agreed upon, and in stage 2, the standard concentrations to be recommended were decided upon. The decision-making process was based on predefined decision criteria.

Results: The continuous infusion standard contains 41 active substances with 49 standard concentrations (37 substances with 1 concentration [conc.], heparin 2 conc., epinephrine and sufentanil 3 conc., norepinephrine 4 conc.), along with the appropriate vehicle solution, and the physicochemical stability over maximum 24 h.

Conclusion: The resulting continuous infusion standards are practical and evidence-based and represent a central component for improving medication safety in ICUs. Implementation of the standard list in German ICUs should be facilitated by interdisciplinary teams.

[Developing kinaesthetic competence and team dynamics : A quality improvement project in a stroke unit]. [发展动觉能力和团队活力:卒中单元的质量改进项目]。
IF 1.3 4区 医学 Q2 MEDICINE, GENERAL & INTERNAL Pub Date : 2025-04-01 Epub Date: 2024-11-21 DOI: 10.1007/s00063-024-01211-2

Background: Movement training for stroke patients is a crucial component of their treatment. Lack of time and staff are often described as limiting factors for the development of kinaesthetic competence. In contrast, a positive team atmosphere and awareness of kinaesthetics are seen to be beneficial.

Aim: The goal of this quality improvement project was to promote the kinaesthetic competence of a stroke unit (SU) nursing team and to investigate its influence on team dynamics.

Methods: As a team intervention for the project, a basic course in kinaesthetics in nursing, augmented by practical instructions, was conducted exclusively for the SU nursing team. The Kinaesthetics Competence Observation (KCO) instrument was used to determine competence development. The participants rated team dynamics on a scale of 0-10 points.

Results: In all, 88% of the nursing team took part in the quality improvement project and successfully completed the basic course. The kinaesthetic competence improved by 4.2 KCO points and the team dynamics also increased by around 2 points.

Discussion: A basic kinaesthetics course with practical instructions improves kinaesthetic competence. Continuous instruction, long-term process implementation and support from nursing managers are required to establish kinaesthetic competence in the long term.

Conclusion: The results show that a kinaesthetic training project carried out in this way has a positive influence not only on kinaesthetic competence but also on the dynamics of a care team.

背景:中风患者的运动训练是治疗的重要组成部分。缺乏时间和人员往往被视为限制运动能力发展的因素。与此相反,积极的团队氛围和对运动美学的认识被认为是有益的。目的:本质量改进项目的目标是提高中风病房(SU)护理团队的运动美学能力,并研究其对团队动力的影响:方法:作为该项目的团队干预措施,专门为卒中单元护理团队开设了护理动觉基础课程,并辅以实践指导。采用动感美学能力观察(KCO)工具来确定能力发展情况。参与者以 0-10 分对团队活力进行评分:结果:总共有 88% 的护理团队参加了质量改进项目,并成功完成了基础课程。讨论:讨论:带有实践指导的基础动觉美学课程可提高动觉美学能力。讨论:带有实践指导的基础动觉课程可提高动觉能力,但需要持续的指导、长期的过程实施和护理管理者的支持,才能长期建立动觉能力:结果表明,以这种方式开展的肌动审美培训项目不仅对肌动审美能力有积极影响,而且对护理团队的活力也有积极影响。

Background: Case numbers in central emergency departments (EDs) have risen during the past decade in Germany, leading to recurrent overcrowding, increased risks in emergency care, and elevated costs. Particularly the fraction of outpatient emergency treatments has increased disproportionately. Within the framework of the Optimization of emergency care by structured triage with intelligent assistant service (OPTINOFA, Förderkennzeichen [FKZ] 01NVF17035) project, an intelligent assistance service was developed.

Patients and methods: New triage algorithms were developed for the 20 most frequent leading symptoms on the basis of established triage systems (emergency severity index, ESI; Manchester triage system, MTS) and provided as web-based intelligent assistance services on mobile devices. To evaluate the validity, reliability, and safety of the new OPTINOFA triage instrument, a pilot study was conducted in three EDs after ethics committee approval.

Results: In the pilot study, n = 718 ED patients were included (age 59.1 ± 22 years; 349 male, 369 female). With respect to disposition (out-/inpatient), a sensitivity of 91.1% and a specificity of 40.7%, and a good correlation with the OPTINOFA triage levels were detected (Spearman's rank correlation ρ = 0.41). Furthermore, the area under the curve (AUC) for prediction of disposition according to the OPTINOFA triage level was 0.73. The in-hospital mortality rate of OPTINOFA triage levels 4 and 5 was 0%. The association between the length of ED stay and the OPTINOFA triage level was shown to be significant (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: The results of the pilot study demonstrate the safety and validity of the new triage system OPTINOFA. By definition of both urgency and emergency care level, new customized perspectives for load reduction in German EDs via a closer cooperation between out- and inpatient sectors of emergency care could be established.

背景:在过去十年中,德国中心急诊室(ED)的病例数不断增加,导致急诊室经常人满为患,急诊风险增加,成本上升。尤其是门诊急诊的比例增长过快。在 "通过智能辅助服务结构化分诊优化急诊护理"(OPTINOFA,Förderkennzeichen [FKZ] 01NVF17035)项目框架内,开发了一种智能辅助服务:患者和方法:在已建立的分诊系统(急诊严重程度指数,ESI;曼彻斯特分诊系统,MTS)基础上,针对 20 种最常见的主要症状开发了新的分诊算法,并在移动设备上提供基于网络的智能辅助服务。为了评估新的 OPTINOFA 分诊工具的有效性、可靠性和安全性,经伦理委员会批准后,在三家急诊室进行了试点研究:在试点研究中,共纳入了 n = 718 名急诊室患者(年龄为 59.1 ± 22 岁;男性 349 人,女性 369 人)。在处置(门诊/住院)方面,灵敏度为 91.1%,特异性为 40.7%,与 OPTINOFA 分流水平有良好的相关性(Spearman's rank correlation ρ = 0.41)。此外,根据 OPTINOFA 分级预测处置的曲线下面积(AUC)为 0.73。OPTINOFA 分流级别 4 和 5 的院内死亡率为 0%。急诊室住院时间与 OPTINOFA 分流级别之间的关系被证明是显著的(p 结论:OPTINOFA 分流级别与急诊室住院时间之间的关系是显著的:试点研究结果证明了新分流系统 OPTINOFA 的安全性和有效性。通过对紧急程度和急诊级别的定义,可以为德国急诊室通过门诊和住院急诊之间的密切合作来减少负荷提供新的定制视角。
