Zusammenfassung
Im 2. Teil der CME-Fortbildung „Gefäßnotfälle“ werden anhand von Fallbeispielen das
rupturierte Bauchortenaneurysma und die akute Aortendissektion besprochen. Zu diesen
Themen werden Informationen zu Inzidenz und Ätiologie gegeben und das diagnostische
Vorgehen sowie leitlinienkonforme therapeutische Sofortmaßnahmen vorgestellt.
Abstract
Precise information concerning the current incidence of vascular emergencies within
the scope of the emergency medical service (EMS) cannot be found in literature. Regardless
of this circumstance vascular emergencies have to be treated as soon as possible in
any case. Thereby hemorrhage allows no delay in emergency or surgical therapy. Acute
vascular occlusions have to be treated within a narrow time frame to avoid unrecoverable
tissue damage. Therefore the EMS-physician plays a crucial role for the outcome of
patients suffering from vascular emergencies.
The subsequent paper (2nd of 2 parts) pays attention to the disease pattern of ruptured
abdominal aortic aneurysm and acute dissection of the aorta and provides information
concerning the etiology, incidence and symptoms of those diseases as well as information
about the first diagnostic measures and the emergency therapy measures, compliant
to the current guidelines. Furthermore additional information concerning the subsequent
emergency room treatment and surgical therapy are provided with the objective to enable
the EMS-physician to make a timely decision, which capabilities (vascular surgery
and/or interventional expertise) the receptive hospital should have in order to provide
optimal therapy for the individual patient.
