BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although there are various methods of determining neurological prognosis after cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the final outcome of patients often remains unclear for quite a long time. METHODS We investigated 30 consecutively admitted patients who had been successfully resuscitated by the team of the local mobile intensive care unit after cardiac arrest. Determinations of the period of anoxia and of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation time, clinical investigation, echocardiography, electroencephalography, evoked potentials, magnetic resonance imaging, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy were performed. RESULTS Demonstration of brain lactate in proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (P < .01) and absent N20 waves in short-latency somatosensory evoked potentials (P < .01) proved to be significant in terms of a poor prognosis. Correlations between both duration of anoxia and cardiopulmonary resuscitation time and neurological outcome could be shown as well (both P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and short-latency evoked potentials are of great benefit in the prognostic evaluation after cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Abstract Early determination of outcome after successful prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a common problem with great ethical, economic, social, and legal consequences. We prospectively investigated 112 adult patients who had been resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (CA). The aim of our study was to determine whether coma rating by the mobile intensive care unit (MICU) is a useful tool for outcome prediction. For neurological assessment the Innsbruck Coma Scale (ICS) was used initially and after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) or 20–30 min after the start of CPR, before any sedating drugs were given. The duration of anoxia and CPR were determined with the automatically recorded emergency call protocol of the dispatch centre and the protocol of the MICU. For estimation of cerebral outcome at the time of discharge from hospital we used the Glasgow-Pittsburgh Cerebral Performance Categories (CPC). Restoration of spontaneous circulation was achieved in 42 patients (37%), and 15 (13%) were discharged from hospital. The first coma rating performed immediately at the time of arrival on scene had no significant prognostic value for prediction of neurological outcome (P = 0.204) and survival (P = 0.103). The second coma rating (performed after ROSC or 20–30 min after the start of CPR), however, demonstrated a significant correlation with neurological outcome (P = 0.0000) and survival (P = 0.0000), a correlation which was comparable to both duration of anoxia and duration of CPR. In patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest prognostic information could be obtained with the ICS as early as 20– 30 min after the start of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

BACKGROUND Intravenous thrombolysis for ischaemic stroke remains underused worldwide. We aimed to assess whether our statewide comprehensive stroke management programme would improve thrombolysis use and clinical outcome in patients. METHODS In 2008-09, we designed the Tyrol Stroke Pathway, which provided information campaigns for the public and standardised the entire treatment pathway from stroke onset to outpatient rehabilitation. It was commenced in Tyrol, Austria, as a long-term routine-care programme and aimed to include all patients with stroke in the survey area. We focused on thrombolysis use and outcome in the first full 4 years of implementation (2010-13). FINDINGS We enrolled 4947 (99%) of 4992 patients with ischaemic stroke who were admitted to hospitals in Tyrol; 675 (14%) of the enrollees were treated with alteplase. Thrombolysis administration in Tyrol increased after programme implementation, from 160 of 1238 patients (12·9%, 95% CI 11·1-14·9) in 2010 to 213 of 1266 patients (16·8%, 14·8-19·0) in 2013 (ptrend 2010-13<0·0001). Differences in use of thrombolysis in the nine counties of Tyrol in 2010 (range, 2·2-22·6%) were reduced by 2013 (12·1-22·5%). Median statewide door-to-needle time decreased from 49 min (IQR 35-60) in 2010 to 44 min (29-60) in 2013; symptomatic post-thrombolysis intracerebral haemorrhages occurred in 28 of 675 patients (4·1%, 95% CI 2·8-5·9) during 2010-13. In four Austrian states without similar stroke programmes, thrombolysis administration remained stable or declined between 2010 and 2013 (mean reduction 14·4%, 95% CI 10·9-17·9). Although the 3-month mortality was not affected by our programme (137 [13%] of 1060 patients in 2010 vs 143 [13%] of 1069 patients in 2013), 3-month functional outcome significantly improved (modified Rankin Scale score 0-1 in 375 [40%] of 944 patients in 2010 vs 493 [53%] of 939 in 2013; score 0-2 in 531 [56%] patients in 2010 and 615 [65%] in 2013; ptrend 2010-13<0·0001). INTERPRETATION During the period of implementation of our comprehensive stroke management programme, thrombolysis administration increased and clinical outcome significantly improved, although mortality did not change. We hope that these results will guide health authorities and stroke physicians elsewhere when implementing similar programmes for patients with stroke.

Maßnahmen zur Fehlerprävention am Beispiel Medikamentengabe

Agnes Neumayr; Andreas Karl; Adolf Schinnerl

Praventive Masnahmen zur Risikominimierung bzw. -vermeidung sind unverzichtbar, um kritische Zwischenfalle z. B. bei der Medikamentengabe zu vermeiden. Im innerklinischen Setting einer Normalstation konnen Medikamentenfehler durch die Verabreichung beim falschen Patienten oder der mangelnden Dokumentation und Information im Schichtbetrieb auftreten. In der Praklinik sind die Fehlerquellen hingegen haufig durch zeitkritische Faktoren bedingt, wie Hektik im Notfallgeschehen sowie schwierige ausere Rahmenbedingungen (schlechte Beleuchtung, Larm, Witterungseinflusse etc.), eine daraus resultierende mangelnde Kommunikation und Teamarbeit, fehlende Beschriftung der Spritzen oder ein fehlender mundlicher Gegencheck von Medikamentenname und zu hoher Dosierung. Unabhangig der Fehlerquelle, ausschlaggebend ist immer der potenzielle Patientenschaden. Der vorliegende Artikel beschreibt die Einbettung konkreter Masnahmen zur Minimierung von (Beinahe-)Fehlern bei Medikamentengabe in einen umfassenden Ansatz zur Risikominimierung im Rettungsdienst Tirol, von der Ausbildung uber die Dokumentation bis zum Notfalleinsatz.

Background There is only limited information on patient satisfaction with emergency medical services (EMS). The aim of this multicentre survey was to evaluate patient satisfaction in five out-of-hospital physician-based EMS in Austria and Switzerland. Methods The psychometrically tested and standardized questionnaire ‘patient satisfaction in out-of-hospital emergency care’ was used for this survey. The recruitment of the patients was carried out on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. All questionnaires were sent together with an invitation letter and a prepaid return envelope, followed by a reminder 2 weeks later. The descriptive statistical analysis was carried out by an external organization to maintain anonymity. Results The response rate of all EMS was 46.7%. High satisfaction rates were achieved for the four quality scales ‘emergency call, emergency treatment, transport and hospital admission’. A significant difference was found between the Swiss and the Austrian dispatch centres in the judgement of the call takers’ social skills. Patient satisfaction with the emergency treatment, for example, reduction of pain, was high in all EMS, independent of whether the EMS is physician (Austria) or physician and emergency medical assistant based (Switzerland). Lowest satisfaction rates were found for items of social skills. Conclusion Patient satisfaction in out-of-hospital physician-based EMS is generally high. There is room for improvement in areas such as the social skills of dispatchers and EMS-team members and the comfort of the patients during transport. A checklist should be developed for basic articles that patients should take along to hospital and for questions on responsibilities for children, dependent people or pets.

Datenmanagement im Tiroler Notarztdienst

Benoît Bernar; Adolf Schinnerl; Michael Baubin

Das Uberleben der Patienten zu sichern, ist seit jeher das primare Ziel des Rettungsdienstes im Ereignisfall. Von einem modernen Rettungsdienst wird zusatzlich verlangt, die zukunftige Lebensqualitat der Patienten zu erhalten. Um dem gerecht zu werden, ist es – neben der Verfugbarkeit der notigen Ressourcen – unerlasslich, dass der Rettungsdienst fortlaufend einer Qualitatsuberprufung unterzogen wird. Diese beinhaltet sowohl die Uberwachung der zeitlichen und technischen als auch der medizinischen Ablaufe im Sinne einer evidenzbasierten Medizin. Grundlage ist die Rekrutierung der fur die Qualitatssicherung notigen Daten. Um eine schnelle, umfassende und zeitgemase Datenauswertung zu ermoglichen, ist die zentrale Hinterlegung der Rettungsdienstdaten in einheitlicher EDV-Form erforderlich. Als Grundlage dient die gesetzliche Vorgabe an Dokumentation und Qualitatssicherung. Das „Tiroler Rettungsdienst Gesetz 2009“ erfullt diese Anforderungen und hat somit den Grundstein fur ein modernes Qualitatsmanagement im Rettungsdienst Tirol gelegt. Im vorliegenden Artikel werden die Herausforderungen, sowie deren Losungsansatze, die bei der Umsetzung aufgetreten sind, dargestellt.

ABS-Briefing – die standardisierte Patientenübergabe

Benjamin Walder; Adolf Schinnerl; Agnes Neumayr

Das Projekt „ABS-Briefing – die standardisierte Patientenubergabe“ wurde als Risikomanagementprojekt der Rotes Kreuz Tirol gem. Rettungsdienst GmbH, des Teams des Arztlichen Leiters Rettungsdienst des Landes Tirol und der Tiroler Fondskrankenanstalten ins Leben gerufen. Den Ausgangspunkt bildete der Mangel an einer standardisierten Vorgehensweise fur die Patientenubergabe von nicht notarztrelevanten Akutpatientinnen und -patienten vom Rettungsdienst an die Tiroler Krankenhauser. In der vorab durchgefuhrten Umfrage bestatigten die Mitarbeiter aus Rettungsdienst und Pflege ubereinstimmend den Wunsch nach einer standardisierten Patientenubergabe. Ziel dieses Projektes war es, ein einheitliches Ubergabeschema fur das Bundesland Tirol zu erarbeiten. Im Herbst 2016 konnte das sog. ABS-Briefing im Rettungsdienst Tirol, in 8 Fondskrankenanstalten sowie in einer privaten Krankenanstalt ausgerollt werden. Das Kapitel beschreibt den Projektverlauf und stellt die Ergebnisse aus den Umfragen vor.
