  abstract  = {The trauma center of the University Hospital Wuerzburg has developed an advanced trauma pathway based on a dual-room trauma suite with an integrated movable sliding gantry CT-system. This enables simultaneous CT-diagnostics and treatment of two trauma patients. The focus of this study was to investigate the quality of the concept based on defined outcome criteria in this specific setting (time from arrival to initiation of CT scan: tCT; time from arrival to initiation of emergency surgery: tES). We analyzed all trauma patients admitted to the hospital's trauma suite from 1st May 2019 through 29th April 2020. Two subgroups were defined: trauma patients, who were treated without a second trauma patient present (group 1) and patients, who were treated simultaneously with another trauma patient (group 2). Simultaneous treatment was defined as parallel arrival within a period of 20 min. Of 423 included trauma patients, 46 patients (10.9\%) were treated simultaneously. Car accidents were the predominant trauma mechanism in this group (19.6\% vs. 47.8\%, p < 0.05). Prehospital life-saving procedures were performed with comparable frequency in both groups (intubation 43.5\% vs. 39\%, p = 0.572); pleural drainage 3.2\% vs. 2.2\%, p = 0.708; cardiopulmonary resuscitation 5\% vs. 2.2\%, p = 0.387). At hospital admission, patients in group 2 suffered significantly more pain (E-problem according to Advanced Trauma Life Support principles©; 29.2\% vs. 45.7\%, p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the clinical treatment (emergency procedures, vasopressor and coagulant therapy, and transfusion of red blood cells). tCT was 6 (4-10) minutes (median and IQR) in group 1 and 8 (5-15.5) minutes in group 2 (p = 0.280). tES was 90 (78-106) minutes in group 1 and 99 (97-108) minutes in group 2 (p = 0.081). The simultaneous treatment of two trauma patients in a dual-room trauma suite with an integrated movable sliding gantry CT-system requires a medical, organizational, and technical concept adapted to this special setting. Despite the oftentimes serious and life-threatening injuries, optimal diagnostic and therapeutic procedures can be guaranteed for two simultaneous trauma patients at an individual medical level in consistent quality.},

  abstract  = {Hintergrund Die Fotodokumentation von offenen Frakturen, Wunden, Dekubitalulzera, Tumoren oder Infektionen ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil der digitalen Patientenakte. Bisher ist unklar, welchen Stellenwert diese Fotodokumentation bei der Abrechnungspr{\"u}fung durch den Medizinischen Dienst der Krankenkassen (MDK) hat. Fragestellung Kann eine Smartphone-basierte Fotodokumentation die Verteidigung von erl{\"o}srelevanten Diagnosen und Prozeduren sowie der Verweildauer verbessern? Material und Methoden Ausstattung der Mitarbeiter mit digitalen Endger{\"a}ten (Smartphone/Tablet) in den Bereichen Notaufnahme, Schockraum, OP, Sprechstunden sowie auf den Stationen. Retrospektive Auswertung der Abrechnungspr{\"u}fung im Jahr 2019 und Identifikation aller Fallbesprechungen, in denen die Fotodokumentation eine Erl{\"o}sver{\"a}nderung bewirkt hat. Ergebnisse Von insgesamt 372 Fallbesprechungen half die Fotodokumentation in 27 F{\"a}llen (7,2 \%) zur Best{\"a}tigung eines Operationen- und Prozedurenschl{\"u}ssels (OPS) (n = 5; 1,3 \%), einer Hauptdiagnose (n = 10; 2,7 \%), einer Nebendiagnose (n = 3; 0,8 \%) oder der Krankenhausverweildauer (n = 9; 2,4 \%). Pro oben genanntem Fall mit Fotodokumentation ergab sich eine durchschnittliche Erl{\"o}ssteigerung von 2119 €. Inklusive Aufwandpauschale f{\"u}r die Verhandlungen wurde somit ein Gesamtbetrag von 65.328 € verteidigt. Diskussion Der Einsatz einer Smartphone-basierten Fotodokumentation kann die Qualit{\"a}t der Dokumentation verbessern und Erl{\"o}seinbußen bei der Abrechnungspr{\"u}fung verhindern. Die Implementierung digitaler Endger{\"a}te mit entsprechender Software ist ein wichtiger Teil des digitalen Strukturwandels in Kliniken.},

  abstract  = {Background Traumatic separation of the pubic symphysis can destabilize the pelvis and require surgical fixation to reduce symphyseal gapping. The traditional approach involves open reduction and the implantation of a steel symphyseal plate (SP) on the pubic bone to hold the reposition. Despite its widespread use, SP-fixation is often associated with implant failure caused by screw loosening or breakage. Methods To address the need for a more reliable surgical intervention, we developed and tested two titanium cable-clamp implants. The cable served as tensioning device while the clamp secured the cable to the bone. The first implant design included a steel cable anterior to the pubic symphysis to simplify its placement outside the pelvis, and the second design included a cable encircling the pubic symphysis to stabilize the anterior pelvic ring. Using highly reproducible synthetic bone models and a limited number of cadaver specimens, we performed a comprehensive biomechanical study of implant stability and evaluated surgical feasibility. Results We were able to demonstrate that the cable-clamp implants provide stability equivalent to that of a traditional SP-fixation but without the same risks of implant failure. We also provide detailed ex vivo evaluations of the safety and feasibility of a trans-obturator surgical approach required for those kind of fixation. Conclusion We propose that the developed cable-clamp fixation devices may be of clinical value in treating pubic symphysis separation.},
