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.}, language = {en} } @article{SchorscherKippnichMeybohmetal.2022, author = {Schorscher, Nora and Kippnich, Maximilian and Meybohm, Patrick and Wurmb, Thomas}, title = {Lessons learned from terror attacks: thematic priorities and development since 2001 - results from a systematic review}, series = {European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery}, volume = {48}, journal = {European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery}, issn = {1863-9941}, doi = {10.1007/s00068-021-01858-y}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-264862}, pages = {2613-2638}, year = {2022}, abstract = {PURPOSE The threat of national and international terrorism remains high. Preparation is the key requirement for the resilience of hospitals and out-of-hospital rescue forces. The scientific evidence for defining medical and tactical strategies often feeds on the analysis of real incidents and the lessons learned derived from them. This systematic review of the literature aims to identify and systematically report lessons learned from terrorist attacks since 2001. METHODS PubMed was used as a database using predefined search strategies and eligibility criteria. All countries that are part of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) were included. The time frame was set between 2001 and 2018. RESULTS Finally 68 articles were included in the review. From these, 616 lessons learned were extracted and summarized into 15 categories. The data shows that despite the difference in attacks, countries, and casualties involved, many of the lessons learned are similar. We also found that the pattern of lessons learned is repeated continuously over the time period studied. CONCLUSIONS The lessons from terrorist attacks since 2001 follow a certain pattern and remained constant over time. Therefore, it seems to be more accurate to talk about lessons identified rather than lessons learned. To save as many victims as possible, protect rescue forces from harm, and to prepare hospitals at the best possible level it is important to implement the lessons identified in training and preparation.}, language = {en} } @article{KippnichSchorscherKredeletal.2020, author = {Kippnich, Maximilian and Schorscher, Nora and Kredel, Markus and Markus, Christian and Eden, Lars and Gassenmaier, Tobias and Lock, Johann and Wurmb, Thomas}, title = {Dual‑room twin‑CT scanner in multiple trauma care: first results after implementation in a level one trauma centre}, series = {European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery}, journal = {European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery}, issn = {1863-9933}, doi = {10.1007/s00068-020-01374-5}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-232390}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Purpose The trauma centre of the Wuerzburg University Hospital has integrated a pioneering dual-room twin-CT scanner in a multiple trauma pathway. For concurrent treatment of two trauma patients, two carbon CT examination and intervention tables are positioned head to head with one sliding CT-Gantry in the middle. The focus of this study is the process of trauma care with the time to CT (tCT) and the time to operation (tOR) as quality indicator. Methods All patients with suspected multiple trauma, who required emergency surgery and who were initially diagnosed by the CT trauma protocol between 05/2018 and 12/2018 were included. Data relating to time spans (tCT and tOR), severity of injury and outcome was obtained. Results 110 of the 589 screened trauma patients had surgery immediately after finishing primary assessment in the ER. The ISS was 17 (9-34) (median and interquartile range, IQR). tCT was 15 (11-19) minutes (median and IQR) and tOR was 96.5 (75-119) minutes (median and IQR). In the first 30 days, seven patients died (6.4\%) including two within the first 24 h (2\%). There were two ICU days (1-6) (median and IQR) and one (0-1) (median and IQR) ventilator day. Conclusion The twin-CT technology is a fascinating tool to organize high-quality trauma care for two multiple trauma patients simultaneously}, language = {en} }
