- Abstract
Objective: To investigate whether goal-directed albumin substitution during surgery and postanesthesia care to maintain a serum albumin concentration >30 g/L can reduce postoperative complications. Background: Hypoalbuminemia is associated with numerous postoperative complications. Since albumin has important physiological functions, substitution of patients with hypoalbuminemia is worth considering. Methods: We conducted a single-center, randomized, controlled, outcome assessor--blinded clinical trial in adult patients, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification 3 to 4 or undergoing high-risk surgery. Patients, whose serum albumin concentration dropped <30 g/L were randomly assigned to goal-directed albumin substitution maintaining serum concentration >30 g/L or to standard care until discharge from the postanesthesia intermediate care unit. Standard of care allowed albumin substitution in hemodynamic instable patients with serum concentration <20 g/L, only. Primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative complications ≥2 according to the Clavien-Dindo Classification in at least 1 of 9 domains (pulmonary, infectious, cardiovascular, neurological, renal, gastrointestinal, wound, pain, and hematological) until postoperative day 15. Results: Of 2509 included patients, 600 (23.9%) developed serum albumin concentrations <30 g/L. Human albumin 60 g (40--80 g) was substituted to 299 (99.7%) patients in the intervention group and to 54 (18.0%) in the standard care group. At least 1 postoperative complication classified as Clavien-Dindo Classification ≥ 2 occurred in 254 of 300 patients (84.7%) in the intervention group and in 262 of 300 (87.3%) in the standard treatment group (risk difference -2.7%, 95% CI, -8.3% to 2.9%). Conclusion: Maintaining serum albumin concentration of > 30 g/L perioperatively cannot generally be recommended in high-risk noncardiac surgery patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Mobilization in the intensive care unit (ICU) has the potential to improve patient outcomes following acute stroke. The optimal duration and intensity of mobilization for patients with hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke in the ICU remain unclear. Objective: To assess the effect of mobilization dose in the ICU on adverse discharge disposition in patients after stroke. Design: This is an international, prospective, observational cohort study of critically ill stroke patients (November 2017–September 2019). Duration and intensity of mobilization was quantified daily by the mobilization quantification score (MQS). Setting: Patients requiring ICU‐level care were enrolled within 48 hours of admission at four separate academic medical centers (two in Europe, two in the United States). Participants: Participants included individuals (>18 years old) admitted to an ICU within 48 hours of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke onset who were functionally independent at baseline. Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measure: The primary outcome was adverse discharge disposition. Results: Of the patients screened, 163 were eligible for inclusion in the study. One patient was subsequently excluded due to insufficient data collection (n = 162). The dose of mobilization varied greatly between centers and patients, which could not be explained by patients' comorbidities or disease severity. High dose of mobilization (mean MQS > 7.3) was associated with a lower likelihood of adverse discharge (adjusted odds ratio, [aOR]: 0.14; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.06–0.31; p <.01). Conclusion: The increased use of mobilization acutely in the ICU setting may improve patient outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Frailty is a state of reduced functional capacities in older people that can be reversed through multimodal therapy concepts. The effect of preoperative prehabilitation on frailty has been examined, but the heterogeneity of exercise regimens has prevented conclusive evidence. This scoping review analyses prehabilitation interventions, particularly exercise methods, published in trials for prefrail and frail elderly patients. We identified studies evaluating prehabilitation for frail elderly using the framework of Arksey and O'Malley. Five scientific databases were searched until March 2022. Articles were screened by two independent reviewers. Data extraction included, but was not limited to, study design, intervention protocol of the prehabilitation including exercise therapy and additional interventions, and safety of the reported exercise concepts. Nineteen studies were included, offering an insight into the utilized prehabilitation concepts for exercise. All study interventions were based around exercise programs, potentially with complementary interventions. Twelve studies based their exercise programs on a combination of endurance and strength training. Breathing exercises were prescribed in five studies, flexibility routines in five, and one study included balance training. Further interventions included nutritional counselling/supplementation in nine studies, smoking/alcohol cessation in five, in addition to two physiological and three medical/pharmaceutical interventions. Prehabilitation for the frail elderly is safe and feasible. The general concept of prehabiliation for frail patients is promising. An exercise program should focus on improving the patient's endurance and strength, considering the positive effects that can be provided by breathing exercises and other additional interventions, such as nutritional support or lifestyle counselling.

- Abstract
Hintergrund: Die „Intensive Care Unit-Acquired Weakness“ (ICU-AW) ist eine der häufigsten Ursachen für eine neuromuskuläre Dysfunktion in der Intensivmedizin. Gegenwärtig fehlen evidenzbasierte Empfehlungen zur Diagnostik, zum Monitoring und zu therapeutischen Maßnahmen. Ziel der Arbeit: Die Erfassung des derzeitigen Vorgehens bei Diagnostik, Monitoring und präventiven und therapeutischen Ansätzen bei der ICU-AW auf deutschen Intensivstationen. Material und Methoden: Onlinebefragung von 448 Mitgliedern des Wissenschaftlichen Arbeitskreises Intensivmedizin (WAKI) und des Wissenschaftlichen Arbeitskreises Neuroanästhesie (WAKNA). Ergebnisse: Insgesamt wurden 68/448 (15,2 %) Fragebogen ausgewertet. Bei 13,4 % (9/67) der Befragten existiert ein strukturiertes diagnostisches Vorgehen zur Detektion der ICU-AW. Für Screening (60/68; 88,2 %) und Verlaufsbeurteilung (57/65; 87,7 %) wird die klinische Untersuchung präferiert. Etablierte Scores, wie der „Medical Research Council sum score“ (MRC-SS) spielen für Screening und Verlaufskontrolle der ICU-AW eine untergeordnete Rolle (7/68; 10,3 % und 7/65; 10,8 %). Mobilisation (45/68; 66,2 %) und Sedativareduktion (38/68; 55,9 %) stellen die häufigsten präventiven und therapeutischen Ansätze dar. Ein Mangel an Physiotherapeuten (64/68; 94,1 %) und Pflegekräften (57/68; 83,8 %) wird als Hauptdefizit bei der Versorgung von Patienten mit ICU-AW identifiziert. Insgesamt 91,2 % (62/68) der Befragten befürworten die Erstellung evidenzbasierter Empfehlungen zur Diagnostik, zum Monitoring und zu therapeutischen Ansätzen bei ICU-AW. Diskussion: Ein einheitliches Konzept für Diagnostik, Monitoring, Prävention und Therapie der ICU-AW auf deutschen Intensivstationen fehlt weitgehend. Innovative diagnostische Ansätze könnten in Zukunft helfen, Patienten mit einem hohem Risiko für eine ICU-AW frühzeitig zu detektieren, präventive Maßnahmen einzuleiten sowie wertvolle prognostische Informationen zu gewinnen.

- Abstract
Die Erhebung des Ernährungsstatus zum Zeitpunkt der Aufnahme im Intensiv- oder Intermediate Care Bereich hat sowohl prognostische als auch therapeutische Relevanz im Hinblick auf die Planung einer individualisierten medizinischen Ernährungstherapie (engl. „medical nutrition therapy“, MNT). Diese Planung wird im Rahmen der Erstversorgung eines vital bedrohlichen Krankheitsbilds nachvollziehbar nicht priorisiert, jedoch im weiteren Verlauf häufig auch oft nicht mehr angemessen durchgeführt. Vor allem bei längerer Verweildauer besteht das Risiko einer Mangelernährung mit Aufbau eines kumulativen, prognoserelevanten Makro- und/oder Mikronährstoffdefizits. Bisher gibt es für Patient*innen auf Intensiv- und Intermediate Care Einheiten keine strukturierten Empfehlungen zur Erhebung des Ernährungsstatus. Das vorliegende Positionspapier der Sektion Metabolismus und Ernährung der Deutschen Interdisziplinären Vereinigung für Intensiv- und Notfallmedizin (DIVI) beinhaltet konsensbasierte Empfehlungen zur Erfassung und zum apparativen Monitoring des Ernährungsstatus von Patient*innen auf Intensiv- und Intermediate Care Stationen. Diese Empfehlungen ergänzen die aktuelle S2k-Leitlinie „Klinische Ernährung in der Intensivmedizin“ der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Ernährungsmedizin (DGEM) und der DIVI.

- Abstract
Hintergrund: Bei etwa 43 % aller Überlebenden der Intensivmedizin wird ein erworbenes Syndrom an Muskelschwäche beobachtet, welches Überleben und Lebensqualität vermindert. Da kausale Therapieoptionen bisher fehlen, stehen die Vermeidung der bekannten Risikofaktoren und Frühmobilisation im Vordergrund. Robotische Unterstützungssysteme werden vermehrt in der Mobilisation erprobt. Ziel der Arbeit: In diesem Übersichtsartikel wird die aktuelle Evidenz von Frühmobilisation von kritisch Kranken zusammengefasst und der Stellenwert robotischer Assistenzsysteme für Mobilisation diskutiert. Ergebnisse: Mobilisation sollte auf der Intensivstation nach Möglichkeit früh begonnen werden. Hierunter wird der Beginn in den ersten 72 h nach der Aufnahme auf die Intensivstation verstanden. Physiotherapeutische Interventionen während des Intensivaufenthalts zeigen positive Effekte auf die Lebensqualität von PatientInnen, auf die Dauer von invasiver Beatmung, Intensivaufenthalt und Delir. Strukturierte Behandlungsprotokolle führen zu mehr aktiver Mobilisation, höherer Mobilität und häufigerer funktioneller Unabhängigkeit bei Entlassung aus dem Krankenhaus. Nach Schlaganfällen erhöhen zusätzliche robotergestützte Therapieeinheiten insbesondere bei stärker eingeschränkten PatientInnen die Rate an Rückkehrern zum selbstständigen Gehen, scheinen sicher und verbesserten in kleinen Studien Muskelkraft und Lebensqualität. Schlussfolgerung: Frühmobilisation verbessert das Outcome von kritisch Erkrankten. Robotische Systeme unterstützen das Gangtraining nach einem Schlaganfall und werden auf der Intensivstation in ersten Studien zu Vertikalisierung und Frühmobilisation untersucht.

- Abstract
Phosphate is the main intracellular anion essential for numerous biological processes. Symptoms of hypophosphatemia are non-specific, yet potentially life-threatening. This systematic review process was initiated to gain a global insight into hypophosphatemia, associated morbidity and treatments. A systematic review was conducted (PROSPERO CRD42020163191). Nine clinically relevant questions were generated, seven for adult and two for pediatric critically ill patients, and prevalence of hypophosphatemia was assessed in both groups. We identified trials through systematic searches of Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, and Web of Science. Quality assessment was performed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomized controlled trials and the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale for observational studies. For all research questions, we identified 2727 titles in total, assessed 399 full texts, and retained 82 full texts for evidence synthesis, with 20 of them identified for several research questions. Only 3 randomized controlled trials were identified with two of them published only in abstract form, as well as 28 prospective and 31 retrospective studies, and 20 case reports. Relevant risk of bias regarding selection and comparability was identified for most of the studies. No meta-analysis could be performed. The prevalence of hypophosphatemia varied substantially in critically ill adults and children, but no study assessed consecutive admissions to intensive care. In both critically ill adults and children, several studies report that hypophosphatemia is associated with worse outcome (prolonged length of stay and the need for respiratory support, and higher mortality). However, there was insufficient evidence regarding the optimal threshold upon which hypophosphatemia becomes critical and requires treatment. We found no studies regarding the optimal frequency of phosphate measurements, and regarding the time window to correct hypophosphatemia. In adults, nutrient restriction on top of phosphate repletion in patients with refeeding syndrome may improve survival, although evidence is weak. Evidence on the definition, outcome and treatment of clinically relevant hypophosphatemia in critically ill adults and children is scarce and does not allow answering clinically relevant questions. High quality clinical research is crucial for the development of respective guidelines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Early mobilisation within 72 hours of intensive care unit admission counteracts complications caused by critical illness. The effect of different interventions on intensive care unit length of stay and other outcomes is unclear. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of various early mobilisation interventions within 72 hours of admission to the intensive care unit on length of stay and other outcomes. A systematic review and (network) meta-analysis examining the effect of early mobilisation on length of stay in the intensive care unit and other outcomes, conducting searches in four databases. Randomised controlled trials were included from inception to 10/08/2022. Early mobilisation was defined as interventions that initiates and/or supports passive/active range-of-motion exercises within 72 hours of admission. In multi-arm studies, interventions used in other studies were declared as early intervention and were included in subgroup meta-analysis. Risk-of-bias was assessed using RoB2. Of 29,680 studies screened, 18 studies with 1923 patients (three high, eleven some, four low risk-of-bias) and seven discriminable interventions of early mobilisation met inclusion criteria. Early mobilisation alone (WMD 0.78 days, 95 %CI [−1.38;-0.18], 11 studies, n = 1124) and early mobilisation with early nutrition (WMD −1.19 days, 95 %CI [−2.34;-0.03], 1 study, n = 100) were able to significantly shorten length of stay. Early mobilisation alone could also substantially shorten hospital length of stay (WMD -1.05 days, 95 %CI [−1.74;-0.36], 8 studies, n = 977). This effect in hospital length of stay was furthermore seen in the early intervention group compared with standard care (WMD −1.71 days, 95 %CI [−2.99;-0.43], 14 studies, n = 1587). Also, functionality and quality of life could significantly be improved by an early start of mobilisation. In the network meta-analysis, early mobilisation alone and early mobilisation with early nutrition demonstrated a significant effect on intensive care length of stay. Early mobilisation could also reduce hospital length of stay and positively influence functionality and quality of life. Early mobilisation and early mobilisation with early nutrition seemed to be beneficial compared to other interventions like cycling on intensive care length of stay. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Schaller, Stefan and Silberbauer, Christoph
- Abstract
In den letzten Jahren rückten entzündliche Prozesse als Auslöser für psychiatrische Krankheitsbilder vermehrt in den Fokus der Forschung. Dabei können, anders als früher angenommen, auch Krankheitsbilder mit einer isoliert psychiatrischer Klinik auftreten, welche dann häufig falsch diagnostiziert und behandelt werden. Wir beschreiben hier den Fall einer Patientin, bei der aufgrund der klinischen Präsentation initial die Diagnose der paranoiden Schizophrenie gestellt wurde. Im Behandlungsverlauf kam es zu mehreren Therapieabbrüchen und unzureichendem Ansprechen der Symptomatik auf die Medikation. Erst im Rahmen der ausführlichen organischen Abklärung konnte eine Autoimmunthyreoiditis vom Typ Hashimoto nachgewiesen werden. Nach Ausschluss anderer Ursachen wurde als Differenzialdiagnose eine Hashimoto Enzephalopathie (HE) in Erwägung gezogen. Nach Aufklärung der Patientin erfolgte ein Therapieversuch mit Coritson, welcher zu einer vollständigen Remission führte und die Diagnose der steroid responsiven Enzephalopathie assoziert mit Autoimmunthyreoditis bestätigte.

- Abstract
The approach to limit therapy in very old intensive care unit patients (VIPs) significantly differs between regions. The focus of this multicenter analysis is to illuminate, whether the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a suitable tool for risk stratification in VIPs admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in Germany. Furthermore, this investigation elucidates the impact of therapeutic limitation on the length of stay and mortality in this setting.

- Abstract
• The German network for Early Mobilization is an open network to distribute knowledge to clinicians. • Monthly newsletters may support implementation of evidence based knowledge. • The Network conducted 14 different research projects in its eight-year existence. • According to participants, membership improved personal development and career. • Membership in the Network led to a perceived quality improvement on workplaces. Professional networks support health care providers in implementing evidence based knowledge. The German Network for Early Mobilization in Intensive Care Units (ICU) was founded in 2011 and serves for more than 300 critical care team members today. The mobilization network is connected to other professional networks and contributed to the development of national guidelines and quality indicators. Several research projects were conducted. Members of the mobilization network perceived benefits for themselves and their workplace. The network increased participants' knowledge and contributed to quality improvement projects on ICUs. Without having significant resources, this network development may serve as an example for other networks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

20. Frühmobilisation auf der Intensivstation

Fuest, Kristina and Schaller, Stefan J.
- Abstract
Hintergrund: Die aktuelle Studienlage zeigt ein heterogenes Bild zur Effektivität von Frühmobilisation, d.?h. Mobilisation innerhalb von 72?h nach Intensivaufnahme. Ebenfalls wird die Evidenz in aktuellen Reviews und den Leitlinien als unzureichend angesehen. Dies führt zur Unsicherheit und verminderten Umsetzung im Alltag. Fragestellung: Wie stellt sich die aktuelle Evidenz zum Thema Frühmobilisation dar? Welche positiven Effekte sind für welche Intensivpatienten zu erwarten? Welche Lücken in der Evidenz gibt es? Ergebnisse: Wird Mobilisation innerhalb von 72?h nach Intensivaufnahme strukturiert umgesetzt, kann ein Muskelmasseerhalt sowie eine Funktionalitätsverbesserung erwartet werden. Zusätzlich sollte die Mobilisierung in ein Maßnahmenbündel, wie das ABCDEF-Konzept, eingebettet werden. Die Umsetzung eines derartigen Gesamtkonzepts zeigte ebenfalls ein positives Outcome in großen Studien. Frühmobilisation ist sicher: Ein endotrachealer Tubus stellt per se keine Kontraindikation für eine Mobilisierung dar. Lücken in der Evidenz gibt es bei speziellen Patientengruppen: 1) bei neurologischen und neurochirurgischen Patienten, wo es lediglich Hinweise aus Beobachtungsstudien gibt und 2) bei Patienten, die zuvor funktionell abhängig waren. Sowohl die Art und Weise als auch die optimale Dosierung von Mobilisation sind hier noch unklar. Schlussfolgerung: Frühmobilisation auf der Intensivstation ist sicher und verbessert das Outcome kritisch kranker Patienten. Weitere Studien sind notwendig, um die Frage nach der optimalen Dosierung und Dauer insbesondere bei neurologischen/neurochirurgischen Patienten zu klären.

Results from retrospective studies suggest that use of neuromuscular blocking agents during general anaesthesia might be linked to postoperative pulmonary complications. We therefore aimed to assess whether the use of neuromuscular blocking agents is associated with postoperative pulmonary complications.

- Abstract
Immobilisation predicts adverse outcomes in patients in the surgical intensive care unit (SICU). Attempts to mobilise critically ill patients early after surgery are frequently restricted, but we tested whether early mobilisation leads to improved mobility, decreased SICU length of stay, and increased functional independence of patients at hospital discharge.

25. Clinical pharmacology and efficacy of sugammadex in the reversal of neuromuscular blockade
- Author

Schaller, Stefan Josef and Lewald, Heidrun
- Abstract
ABSTRACTIntroduction: Sugammadex is the first clinical representative of a class of drugs called steroidal muscle relaxant encapsulators. Due to its 1:1 binding of rocuronium or vecuronium, sugammadex can reverse any depth of neuromuscular block and has therefore revolutionized the way anesthetists think about drug reversal.Areas covered: This review gives an overview of the clinical pharmacology and efficacy of sugammadex in healthy patients as well as in patients with pre-existing diseases.Expert opinion: After approval in Europe in 2008 and Asia in 2010, sugammadex has recently been approved in the USA and Canada. This will open the field for further research especially for the use in special patient populations and specific diseases. Due to its pharmacodynamic profile, sugammadex in combination with rocuronium might have the potential to displace succinylcholine as the gold standard muscle relaxant for rapid sequence inductions. The use of rocuronium or vecuronium with the potential to reverse its action with sugammadex seems to be safe in patients with impaired neuromuscular transmission, i.e. (neuro)muscular diseases including myasthenia gravis. Data from long-term use of sugammadex is not yet available. Evidence towards an economic advantage of using sugammadex, justifying the relatively high costs for an anesthesia-related drug, is missing.

- Abstract
Immobilization of critically ill patients leads to muscle weakness, which translates to increased costs of care and long-term functional disability. We tested the validity of a German Surgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Optimal Mobilization Score (SOMS) in 2 different cohorts (neurocritical and nonneurocritical care patients).

- Abstract
We examined the impact of muscle relaxation on surgical conditions and patients’ postoperative outcome during elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under balanced anaesthesia. After approval and consent, 57 anaesthetized patients were randomly assigned to group no neuromuscular blockade (No NMB) and deep neuromuscular blockade (Deep NMB), i.e. no twitch response to train-of-four nerve stimulation. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed using the 4-trocar technique with a CO2-pneumoperitoneum. Surgical conditions were assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale. Movement of diaphragm or abdominal muscles, inadequate visibility, or breathing and coughing against the ventilator were documented as events reflecting inadequate muscle relaxation. Independently, surgeons could request 0.3 mg/kg rocuronium to improve surgical conditions. Workflow variables were obtained as a surrogate of surgical conditions. Data are presented as mean (95 % confidence interval). The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00895778). While in 12 of 25 patients of group “No NMB” one or more adverse events impaired the surgical procedure (p< 0.001), only 1 of 25 patients of group “Deep NMB” showed an adverse event. Deep NMB resulted in an absolute risk reduction of 0.44 (0.23–0.65) and a number needed to treat of 2.3 (1.5–4.4), respectively. Surgeons requested 0.3 mg/kg rocuronium in 10 of 25 cases (40 %) of group “No NMB” only. This dose significantly improved surgical conditions by an average 62 of 100 possible points. All further variables did not differ between groups. Deep NMB ameliorates surgical conditions for laparoscopic cholecystectomy by improved visibility and reduction of involuntary movements.

- Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) has become an increasingly accepted technique and is the method of choice for direct visualization of pulmonary emboli (PE). The quantitative assessment of tissue perfusion may yield more important information for patient management than the direct visualization of emboli by CT alone. Several attempts have been made to measure pulmonary blood flow by administration of intravenous contrast material. In this article, various experimental CT approaches for visualization and quantification of pulmonary perfusion are discussed. Ideally, CT will be able to provide both structural and functional information. Simple measurement of lung density before and after intravenous contrast delivery has been performed with single-slice CT technology using region-of-interest methodology. For electron-beam CT, a repeated data acquisition on a 7.6-cm lung volume has proven to be technically feasible. Using such dynamic scanning, reduced blood flow was observed in occluded lung segments. Color-encoded parenchymal density distribution in the axial, coronal, and sagittal planes was derived from thin collimation data sets using four-row multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT). Initial animal data from 16-slice MSCT offer a real CT-subtraction technique of the entire chest for the first time. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

: Rationale and ObjectivesThe authors present advances in electrocardiographically (ECG) gated cardiac spiral scanning with recently introduced 16-section computed tomographic (CT) equipment.: Materials and MethodsThe authors discuss the technical principles of ECG-gated cardiac scanning. They give an overview on system properties and on the detector design. They describe ECG-gated scan- and image-reconstruction techniques and ECG-controlled dose modulation (“ECG pulsing”) for a reduction of the patient dose. They discuss key parameters for image quality and present simulation and phantom studies and they give preliminary values for the patient dose.: ResultsAn extension of the adaptive cardiac volume reconstruction for ECG-gated spiral CT provides adequate image quality for up to 16 sections. With the smallest reconstructed section width (about 0.83 mm) and overlapping image reconstruction, cylindrical holes 0.6–0.7 mm in diameter can be resolved in a transverse resolution phantom independent of the heart rate. For coronary CT angiography, the influence of transverse resolution is most pronounced for coronary segments that are only slightly tilted relative to the scan plane. In this case, visualization of stents and plaques is considerably improved with 1.0-mm or smaller section width. For 0.42-second gantry rotation time, temporal resolution reaches its optimum (105 msec) at a heart rate of 81 beats per minute. Effective patient dose for the standard protocols recommended by the manufacturer ranges from 0.45 mSv (male) for ECG-triggered calcium scoring to 7.1 mSv (male) for high-resolution ECG-gated coronary CT angiography. With ECG pulsing, the dose is reduced by 30%–50% depending on the patient''s heart rate.: ConclusionClinical experience will be needed to evaluate fully the potential of 16-section technology for cardiac imaging.

- Abstract
Extramural paratracheal/-bronchial tumors of the mediastinum and the hilum that cannot be seen in bronchoscopy constitute a particular challenge for transbronchial fine needle aspiration cytology. A software prototype was developed as a guidance tool to visualize extramural targets on computed tomography (CT)-bronchoscopy. A phantom study was conducted to evaluate this guidance tool.

- Abstract
Background: 4-slice CT scanners have shown limitations in clinical application for noninvasive coronary CT angiography (CTA). We evaluate advances in ECG-gated scanning of the heart and the coronary arteries with recently introduced 16-slice CT equipment (SOMATOM Sensation 16, Siemens, Forchheim, Germany). Materials and Methods: The technical principles of ECG-gated cardiac scanning, scan parameters, and detector design of the new scanner are presented. ECG-gated scan and image reconstruction techniques and ECG-controlled dose modulation ("ECG pulsing") for a reduction of the patient dose are described, key parameters for image quality and simulation results presented, and phantom studies and initial patient experience discussed. The impact of reduced gantry rotation time (0.42 s) on temporal resolution and initial estimations of the patient dose are presented. Results: Extensions of ECG-gated reconstruction algorithms used for 4-slice CT provide adequate image quality for up to 16 slices. For each detector collimation different slice widths are available for retrospective reconstruction with well-defined slice sensitivity profiles (SSPs). For coronary CTA the heart can be covered with 0.75 mm collimation within a 20-s breathhold. The best possible spatial resolution is 0.5 × 0.5 × 0.6 mm. For 0.42 s gantry rotation time, temporal resolution reaches its optimum (105 ms) at a heart rate of 81 bpm. Effective patient dose for coronary CTA is 4-5 mSv using ECG-pulsed acquisition. Conclusion: The clinical performance of coronary CTA by means of spatial resolution, temporal resolution and scan time is substantially improved with the evaluated 16-slice CT scanner. Also, display of smaller coronary segments and instent visualization are substantially improved. Hintergrund: Die Einführung der Mehrschicht-CT im Jahr 1998 stellte einen Durchbruch der mechanischen CT in der nichtinvasiven Bildgebung des Herzens dar. Klinische Studien zeigten jedoch Limitationen gängiger 4-Schicht-CT-Geräte, welche die breite klinische Anwendung der Methode einschränken. Material und Methoden: Die neue Generation von Mehrschicht-CT-Geräten bietet gleichzeitige Aufnahme von bis zu 16 Submillimeter-Schichten und verbesserte Zeitauflösung für Herzuntersuchungen durch Verringerung der Gantry-Rotationszeit auf 0,42 s. Diese Arbeit stellt die technischen Grundlagen und mögliche Applikationen dieser neuen Technologie in der Untersuchung des Herzens und der Koronargefäße am Beispiel eines neuartigen 16-Schicht-CT-Gerätes dar (SOMATOM Sensation 16, Siemens AG, Forchheim). Das neue Systemkonzept, Detektordesign und Dosiseffizienz sowie Datenaufnahme- und Bildrekonstruktionstechniken für die EKG-synchronisierte Untersuchung des Herzens werden diskutiert. Ergebnisse: Die Erweiterung gängiger Rekonstruktionstechniken von 4- auf 16-Schicht-Detektoren liefert eine diagnostisch adäquate Bildqualität. Die neuen Verfahren sind in der Lage, für jede kollimierte Schichtdicke Schichten verschiedener Dicke mit gut definierten Schichtempfindlichkeitsprofilen zu rekonstruieren. Basierend auf einer kollimierten Schichtdicke von 0,75 mm kann eine hochaufgelöste CT-Angiographie (CTA) des Herzens und der Koronargefäße in einer 20-sekündigen Atempause durchgeführt werden. Die bestmögliche räumliche Auflösung beträgt 0,5 × 0,5 × 0,6 mm. Mit einer Rotationszeit des Messsystems von 0,42 s wird die bestmögliche zeitliche Auflösung von 105 ms bei einer Herzfrequenz von 81 Schlägen/min erreicht. Unter Verwendung einer EKG-synchronisierten Röhrenstrommodulation ist für eine CTA des Herzens und der Herzkranzgefäße mit einer effektiven Patientendosis von 4-5 mSv zu rechnen. Schlussfolgerung: Mit den neuen 16-Schicht-CT-Systemen lassen sich bei reduzierter Untersuchungszeit sowohl die räumliche als auch zeitliche Auflösung für die CTA des Herzens und der Koronargefäße deutlich verbessern. Auch die Darstellung kleinerer Koronarsegmente und die In-Stent-Visualisierung werden ermöglicht.
