    Title translation Levosimendan - a 20-Year Experience.
    Abstract Levosimendan is a calcium sensitizer and opens adenosine triphosphate-dependent potassium channels. Since 20 years, it is approved for acute decompensated heart failure. It has been tested in many clinical trials for treatment of at-risk patients in cardiac surgery, right ventricular failure, pulmonary hypertension, weaning of extracorporeal systems, cardiogenic shock, septic shock, ARDS and others.Levosimendan has diverse positive effects next to positive inotropy. It improves ventriculoarterial coupling, increases peripheral perfusion, increases kidney glomerular filtration rate, coronary blood flow and it reduces preload and afterload as well as pulmonary capillary wedge pressure.Due to the opening of potassium channels, it also acts on mitochondria resulting in organ protection. Levosimendan acts anti-apoptotic. These positive effects were described in many small studies. Although this sounds like a promising drug for a variety of settings, results of several multicentre randomized placebo-controlled studies were frustrating. This review resumes some facts of levosimendan in different diseases.

    Title translation Do we Isolate Patients or Bugs? Challenging Isolation Precautions.
    Abstract Isolation of patients with multidrug-resistant organisms (MRGN) has been recommended since years. Recent evidence suggests no benefit by this isolation procedure. Furthermore, isolation precautions may have potential negative effects on patient well-being and may increase therapeutic error.Rather than blocking patients up in a room, implementing and continuous education about standard precautions as hand washing and contact awareness may decrease spread of MRGN and other resistant bacteria. In this context, evidence about mechanism of resistance transfer between bacteria is still expanding. Education about these mechanisms inside and outside the body may help to corroborate the appreciation about implementation of standard precautions. In addition, the awareness of antibiotic stewardship in this context has to be underlined. Prevention of spreading bacteria is not done by isolation in room. In fact, it is a multifactorial continuous cycle of planning, teaching, surveillance and transfer of knowledge. Combination of education, compliance to standard precautions and continuous education may be a big step forward in fighting MRGN transmission and progression.

    Abstract Vasopressoren kommen besonders in kritischen, nicht selten lebensbedrohlichen Situationen der Anästhesie, Notfall- und Intensivmedizin zum Einsatz. Die Wahl der geeigneten Substanz sowie die Erkennung und Beherrschung möglicher Nebenwirkungen sind von großer Bedeutung. Im folgenden Beitrag sollen daher die klinisch wichtigsten Substanzen vorgestellt und deren pharmakologische Charakteristika beleuchtet werden.

    Abstract Isolationsmaßnahmen zur Prävention der Übertragung multiresistenter Erreger (MRE) gehören in Anbetracht der steigenden Resistenzentwicklung auf Intensivstationen mittlerweile zur Routine. Noch wichtiger sind allerdings Basishygiene und der verantwortungsvolle Umgang mit antiinfektiven Therapien. Dieser Beitrag widmet sich den verschiedenen Präventionsmaßnahmen, die nur in Kombination effektiv und zielführend sind.

    Abstract Background: Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vaECMO) removal reflects a critical moment and factors of adverse outcomes are incompletely understood. Thus, we studied various patient-related factors during vaECMO removal to determine their association with outcomes.
    Methods: A total of 58 patients from a university hospital were included retrospectively. Demographic, clinical, and echocardiographic parameters were recorded while under vaECMO support, as well as the need for inotropic and vasoactive-inotropic scores (VIS). Successful weaning was defined as 28-day survival without reinitiation of vaECMO.
    Results: Patient age differed significantly between patients with a successful and a failed vaECMO weaning (54 ± 14 vs. 62 ± 12 years,
    Conclusions: In this cohort, age and the extent of vasoactive-inotropic agents were associated with adverse outcomes following vaECMO, whereas echocardiographic biventricular function during vaECMO support was not.

    Abstract Background: Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vvECMO) is used to treat hypoxia in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Nevertheless, uncertainty exists regarding the optimal timing of initiation of vvECMO therapy. We aimed to investigate the association between number of days of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) prior to vvECMO implantation and mortality.
    Methods: In this retrospective observational study, we included patients treated at an academic intensive care unit with vvECMO for severe ARDS. The primary outcome was all-cause 28-day mortality. We conducted a multivariate logistic regression analysis to estimate the association between number of days of IMV prior to vvECMO implantation and mortality after adjustment for confounders.
    Results: Out of 274 patients who underwent ECMO for severe ARDS, 158 patients (median age: 58 years) with relevant data were included in the analysis. The mean duration of IMV prior to vvECMO was significantly shorter in survivors than in nonsurvivors [survivors median: 1; interquartile range: 1-3; non-survivors median 4; interquartile range: 1-5.75; p = 0.0001). Logistic regression showed an association between the duration of ventilation prior to vvECMO and patient mortality. The odds ratio for the all-cause 28-day mortality and in-hospital mortality was significantly reduced in patients who received vvECMO within the first 5 days of IMV.
    Conclusions: Early vvECMO implantation may be associated with lower mortality in ARDS.

    Title translation Anesthesiology and Outcome - Impact of the Perioperative Process.
    Abstract In recent years, the role of the anesthesiologist has turned tremendously from the "anaesthesia doctor" into a perioperative physician and risk specialist. Patients are older, multimorbid, and are called up for more and more extensive surgery and interventions. Socioeconomic aspects have grown in importance. The anesthesiologist, paving the way for a good outcome, is involved in nearly all perioperative processes: preoperative evaluation, definition and optimization of preoperative and intraoperative conditions, management of modern intraoperative anesthesia as well as postoperative medically indicated, effective and efficient treatment of partially highly complex patients. The individual perioperative process steps in this way are examined in accordance with established guidelines and the increase in current requirements. Finally, a special emphasis is placed on the perception that the perioperative process has not been completed with the end of surgery - postoperative outcome is not least adversely affected by postoperative complications on the normal ward. The risk of death after complications, "failure to rescue", should be identified early and treated promptly.

    Abstract Background. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) results in significant hypoxia, and ARDS is the central pathology of COVID-19. Inhaled prostacyclin has been proposed as a therapy for ARDS, but data regarding its role in this syndrome are unavailable. Therefore, we investigated whether inhaled prostacyclin would affect the oxygenation and survival of patients suffering from ARDS. Methods. We performed a prospective randomized controlled single-blind multicenter trial across Germany. The trial was conducted from March 2019 with final follow-up on 12 th of August 2021. Patients with moderate to severe ARDS were included and randomized to receive either inhaled prostacyclin (3 times/day for 5 days) or sodium chloride. The primary outcome was the oxygenation index in the intervention and control groups on Day 5 of therapy. Secondary outcomes were mortality, secondary organ failure, disease severity and adverse events. Findings. Of 707 patients approached 150 patients were randomized to receive inhaled prostacyclin (n=73) or sodium chloride (n=77). Data from 144 patients were analyzed. The baseline oxygenation index did not differ between groups. The primary analysis of the study was negative, and prostacyclin improved oxygenation by 20 mmHg more than NaCl (p=0.17). Oxygenation was significantly improved in patients with ARDS who were COVID-19-positive (34 mmHg, p=0.04). Mortality did not differ between groups. Secondary organ failure and adverse events were similar in the intervention and control groups. Interpretation. Although the primary result of our study was negative, our data suggest that inhaled prostacyclin might be a more beneficial treatment than standard care for patients with ARDS.
