Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of whole-body CT during trauma resuscitation on survival: a retrospective, multicentre study
Stefan Huber-Wagner,Rolf Lefering,Lars-Mikael Qvick,Markus Körner,Michael V Kay,Klaus-Jürgen Pfeifer,Maximilian F. Reiser,Wolf Mutschler,Karl-Georg Kanz +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the probability of survival in patients with blunt trauma who had whole-body CT during resuscitation with those who had not, and found that the use of CT for early assessment of primary trauma is increasing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum s-100b concentration provides additional information fot the indication of computed tomography in patients after minor head injury: a prospective multicenter study
Peter Biberthaler,Ulrich Linsenmeier,Klaus-Juergen Pfeifer,M. Kroetz,Thomas Mussack,Karl-Georg Kanz,Eduard F J Hoecherl,Felix Jonas,Ingo Marzi,Phillip Leucht,Marianne Jochum,Wolf Mutschler +11 more
TL;DR: It is investigated whether S-100B concentrations in patients with MHI can provide additional information to improve indication of the need for an initial CCT scan and whether adding the measurement of S- 100B concentration to the clinical decision rules for a C CT scan in patientswith MHI could allow a 30% reduction in scans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-Body CT in Haemodynamically Unstable Severely Injured Patients – A Retrospective, Multicentre Study
Stefan Huber-Wagner,Peter Biberthaler,Sandra Häberle,Matthias Wierer,Martin Dobritz,Ernst J. Rummeny,Martijn van Griensven,Karl-Georg Kanz,Rolf Lefering +8 more
TL;DR: WBCT during trauma resuscitation significantly increased the survival in haemodynamically stable as well as in hamodynamically unstable major trauma patients and seems to be safe, feasible and justified if performed quickly within a well-structured environment and by an well-organized trauma team.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum S-100B and interleukin-8 as predictive markers for comparative neurologic outcome analysis of patients after cardiac arrest and severe traumatic brain injury.
Thomas Mussack,Peter Biberthaler,Karl-Georg Kanz,Ernst Wiedemann,Cornelia Gippner-Steppert,Wolf Mutschler,Marianne Jochum +6 more
TL;DR: Significantly elevated S-100B and interleukin-8 serum levels 12 hrs after cardiac arrest suggest that primary brain damage and systemic inflammatory response are comparably serious with that of traumatic brain injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcome in 757 severely injured patients with traumatic cardiorespiratory arrest
Stefan Huber-Wagner,Rolf Lefering,Mike Qvick,Michael V Kay,Thomas Paffrath,Wolf Mutschler,Karl-Georg Kanz +6 more
TL;DR: Prehospital chest tube insertion was found to be a strong predictor for survival and on-scene chest decompression of TCRA patients is recommended in case of the decision to start with ECC.
