Research paper thumbnail of Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) practices in the helicopter emergency medical services in Europe: results of an online survey

We aimed to study the availability, perception, and future aspects of POCUS in the European HEMS using an online survey.MethodA survey about the use of POCUS in HEMS was conducted by a multinational steering expert committee and was carried out from November 30, 2020 to December 30, 2020 via an online web portal. Invitations for participation were sent via email to the medical directors of the European HEMS organizations including two reminding notes.ResultsDuring the study period, 69 participants from 25 countries and 41 different HEMS providers took part in the survey. 96% (n = 66) completed the survey. POCUS was available in 75% (56% always when needed and 19% occasionally) of the responding HEMS organizations. 17% were planning to establish POCUS in the near future. Responders who provided POCUS used it in approximately 15% of the patients. Participan...

Research paper thumbnail of Characteristics and Injury Patterns in Electric-Scooter Related Accidents—A Prospective Two-Center Report from Germany

However, valid data on injuries and usage habits are not yet available. This retrospective two-center study included a total of 76 patients who presented to the emergency department following E-scooter-related accidents. The mean age was 34.3 ± 12.4 years and 69.7% of the patients were male. About half of the patients were admitted by ambulance (42.1%). Fractures were found in 48.6% of patients, and 27.6% required surgical treatment due to a fracture. The upper extremities were the most commonly affected body region, followed by injuries to the lower extremity and to the head and face. Only one patient had worn a helmet. In-hospital treatment was necessary for 26.3% of the cases. Patients presented to the emergency department mainly during the weekend and on-call times. This is the first report on E-scooter-related injuri...

Research paper thumbnail of How effective are different models of pelvic binders: results of a study using a Pelvic Emergency Simulator

The use for pathologies in the posterior pelvic ring is still debatable. Questions/purposes We determined if there is a difference in achievable compression in the dorsal pelvic ring depending on position and pelvic binder model. Can this effect be tested with a simplified artificial model? Methods We simulated a Tile type C fracture within the established pelvic emergency trainer and measured in a test series the effectivity of reduction with a non-invasive stabilization technique using 3 different pelvic binders. Results Any therapeutic effect of a pelvic binder with compression to the posterior pelvic ring requires at first a reduction maneuver. While the compression effect in the symphysis depends only on positioning of the binder, in the posterior pelvic ring, the result varies with the used model. The achievable pressure in the SI joint with a pelvic binder is only 20-25% (33.5-47 N) compared to the C-Clamp values (156 N). Conclusions The use of pelvic binders for non-invasive pelvic ring stabilization, even with a posterior pathology, could be proven in a simplified fracture model. A proper fracture reduction and an adequate device positioning influence the effectiveness. Clinical relevance The use of an emergency pelvic trainer even for a non-invasive maneuver is advisable.

Research paper thumbnail of Advances in the Preoperative Planning of Revision Trauma Surgery Using 3D Printing Technology

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2019

As the major principle of treatment remains to achieve an anatomic reduction and a stable fixation, precise preoperative diagnostics and treatment planning are of utmost importance. Thus, knowledge of the 3-dimensional anatomy of the fracture site and its surrounding tissue is indispensable. However, radiographic tools have thus far mostly been unable to recapitulate the complexity of the fracture site in toto. In recent years, the development of 3-dimensional (3D) printers has led to novel opportunities in preoperative planning of complex operative procedures. Although the application of 3D printers has become increasingly popular in orthopaedic surgery, its implementation in trauma surgery is so far mostly limited to the preoperative planning of surgery in patients with pelvic and acetabular fractures/defects. Moreover, reports des...
