    Title translation Role of Dexamethasone for Pain Management in Intervertebral Disc Surgery.
    Abstract Intervertebral disc operations are already among the most common and their frequency is increasing. The pain associated with these operations is one of the most common postoperative discomforts, has a significant impact on psychosocial aspects, and should therefore be treated effectively. Therefore, we present the importance of dexamethasone for multimodal pain management after intervertebral disc surgery.

    Abstract Background: Volatile anesthetics are used more commonly for sedation in the intensive-care-unit (ICU). However, evidence for long-term use remains low. We therefore conducted a randomized-controlled trial comparing sevoflurane with intravenous sedation with particular focus on efficacy and safety.
    Methods: In this prospective, randomized-controlled phase-IIb monocentric clinical-trial ICU patients requiring at least 48 h of sedation were randomized to receive sevoflurane (S) or propofol/midazolam (P). Sedation quality was monitored using the Richmond-Agitation-Sedation-Scale. Following termination of sedation, the time to spontaneous breathing and extubation, opioid consumption, hemodynamics, ICU and hospital length of stay (LOS) and adverse events were recorded.
    Results: 79 patients were eligible to randomization. Sedation quality was comparable between sevoflurane (n = 39) and propofol (n = 40). However, the use of sevoflurane lead to a reduction in time to spontaneous breathing (26 min vs. 375 min, P < 0.001). Patients sedated with propofol had lower opioid requirements (remifentanil:400 μg/h vs. 500 μg/h, P = 0.007; sufentanil:40 μg/h vs. 30 μg/h, P = 0.007) while hemodynamics, LOS or the occurrence of adverse events did not differ.
    Conclusion: ICU patients sedated with sevoflurane >48 h may return to spontaneous breathing faster, while the quality of sedation is comparable to a propofol-based sedation regime. Sevoflurane might be considered to be safe for long-term sedation in this patient population, while being non-inferior compared to propofol.

    Title translation Post-polio Syndrome in the Perioperative Phase.
    Abstract Due to the numerous poliomyelitis epidemics that have continued over the last decades and the post-polio syndrome (PPS) that occurs 10 - 30 years after poliomyelitis infection, the prevalence of PPS is also expected to increase in Europe. At the same time, due to the musculoskeletal disorders associated with the underlying disease, PPS patients often require surgery for which special anaesthetic requirements must be taken into account. In this analysis we summarise the current evidence and recommendations.

    Abstract Background: While structures of intensive care medicine in Austria are well defined, data on organisational and medical practice in intensive care units (ICUs) have not been systematically evaluated.
    Methods: In this explorative survey, organisational and medical details of ICUs in Austria were collected using an online questionnaire consisting of 147 questions.
    Results: Out of 249 registered ICUs 73 (29.3%) responded, 60 were adult, 10 pediatric/neonatal ICUs and 19, 25 and 16 ICUs were located in level I, II and III hospitals, respectively. Of the respondents 89% reported that the ICU director was board-certified in intensive care medicine. Consultants were constantly present in 78% of ICUs during routine working hours and in 45% during nights and weekends. The nurse:bed ratio varied between 1:1 and 1:2 in 74% during day shifts and 60% during night shifts. Routine physiotherapist rounds were reported to take place daily except weekends in 67% of ICUs. Common monitoring techniques were reported to be in routine or occasional use in 85% and 83% of ICUs, respectively. The majority of ICUs provided daily visiting hours ranging between 2-12 h. Waiting rooms for relatives were available in 66% and an electronic documentation system in 66% of ICUs. Written protocols were available in 70% of ICUs.
    Conclusion: The Austrian ICU survey suggests that ICUs in Austria are clearly structured, well-organized and well-equipped and have a high nurse:bed ratio. In view of the relatively low return rate we cannot exclude that a selection bias has led to overestimation of the survey findings.

    Abstract Background: Our aim was to analyze anesthetic induction time and postoperative pain using spinal anesthesia versus general anesthesia with or without the use of peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) in total knee arthroplasty. The hypothesis was that spinal anesthesia would be beneficial with respect to induction time and postoperative pain and that PNBs would complement this effect.
    Methods: Patients were stratified according to demographics, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification system (ASA), and opioid intake and divided into: (A) general anesthesia without PNB; (B) general anesthesia with PNB; (C) spinal anesthesia without PNB; and (D) spinal anesthesia with PNB. Endpoints were anesthetic induction time, opioid consumption, and pain. Of 559 patients, 348 (62.3%) received general anesthesia (consisting of group A with 46 and group B with 302 patients), and 211 (37.7%) spinal anesthesia (consisting of group C with 117 and group D with 94 patients).
    Results: We observed significantly lower total opioid intake 48 hours postoperative when applying spinal anesthesia by 2.08 mg (P < .05) of intravenous morphine-equivalent, and a reduction of 7.0 minutes (P < .05) until skin incision. The application of a PNB achieved a reduction of piritramide intake of 3.59 mg (P < .05) 48 hours postoperative and lengthened induction time by 8.5 minutes (P < .05).
    Conclusions: Statistically shorter anesthetic induction times without clinical relevance, but lower postoperative opioid dosages with clinical relevance were observed for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty with spinal anesthesia. The additional application of PNBs led to a lower need for opioids and lower pain levels in the early postoperative phase.

    Abstract Objectives: Our primary goal was to evaluate the effect of stimulus duration on electrogustometry (EGM) thresholds. Additionally, we sought to evaluate any sex-related influences and compare the above results to those of taste strips.
    Design: Electrogustometry thresholds of various stimulus durations (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 seconds) were measured in 212 non-smokers (age range: 10-80 years, divided into eight age-groups) without self-reported gustatory impairment. Furthermore, taste strips chemogustometry measurements in 132 participants were performed.
    Setting: Tertiary referral medical centre.
    Participants: 212 non-smokers, divided into eight age-groups participated in the study.
    Main outcome measures: Electrogustometry thresholds and taste strips, duration of EGM stimuli.
    Results: Electrogustometry thresholds increased progressively with age and with stimulus duration from 0.5 to 2 seconds. This pattern was consistent in all six anatomic areas, irrespective of sex. In contrast, when using chemogustometry, no age- or sex-related differences were observed.
    Conclusions: Electrogustometry-threshold values increase progressively with age and with stimulus duration. Therefore, we recommend documenting stimulus duration in the future EGM recordings as it may significantly affect EGM amplitude threshold values.

    Title translation Severe Shock Symptoms Due to Ticagrelor Related Anaphylactoid Reaction Following ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction.
    Abstract Background: Ticagrelor as a P2Y12 receptor antagonist is recommended in patients with acute coronary syndrome without a primary cardiosurgical therapy. Severe relevant side effects, especially anaphylactic reactions, have not yet been described in the current literature.
    Case presentation: We describe the first documented case in the current literature with a severe anaphylaxis after ticagrelor in a 76-year-old male patient with ST-elevation myocardial infarction. The diagnosis seems to be objectivated by the observed time-related life-threatening event after repetitive administration of ticagrelor and the rapid stabilization after adequate anaphylactic treatment.
    Conclusion: This case should raise the awareness that a supposedly safe drug can still cause an anaphylactic shock.
