  • From Baghdad to Regensburg German Which the Treatment of a US Soldier with Life Threatening Injuries Using Should Be Used for Referencing
    MEDICINE This text is a CASE REPORT translation from the original From Baghdad to Regensburg German which The treatment of a US soldier with life threatening injuries using should be used for referencing. a new system for extracorporeal, pump free pulmonary support The German version is Thomas Bein, Alois Philipp, Warren Dorlac, Kai Taeger, authoritative. Michael Nerlich, Hans J. Schlitt SUMMARY History and clinical findings: The authors describe a new extracorporeal pumpless interventional lung assistance system (iLA) which was inserted in a young US soldier suffering from severe acute respiratory distress syndrome with critical hypoxemia/hypercapnia after blast injury in Baghdad. The system is characterized by a new membrane gas exchange system with optimized blood flow which is integrated in an arterial-venous bypass established by cannulation of the femoral artery and vein. After implementation of the system, gas exchange improved rapidly, and the patient was airlifted from Iraq to Regensburg University Hospital, where he recovered gradually. Treatment and clinical course: The system was removed after 15 days, and the patient was successfully weaned from mechanical ventilation. Discussion: iLA serves as an enabling device for artificial lung assistance with easy use and low cost. However, bleeding complications and ischemia of the lower limb can occur as a consequence of wide bore cannulation of the femoral artery. Further prospective studies are needed to establish whether iLA can be adopted more widely. Dtsch Arztebl 2006; 103(42):A 2797–2801. Key words: acute respiratory distress syndrome, blast injury, lung protective ventilation, pumpless extracorporeal interventional lung assist ven after the end of the war in Iraq frequent casualties are being suffered in the civilian E population and in the military, due to constant attacks, insurgency and acts of terrorism.

Diese „Herausforderungen“ unterstrei- chen die Halbjahresdaten zu den Vermietungs- und Investmentmärkten. Am Investmentmarkt ist die Nachfrage nach Büroimmobilien ungebrochen. Mit rund 10 Mrd. Euro Transaktionsvolumen und knapp 40 Prozent Marktanteil bleibt der Sektor im ersten Halbjahr 2017 an der Spitze des Gewerbeinvestmentmarktes. An den Vermietungsmärkten sinken dank starker Flächenumsätze bei geringen Fertig- stellungen die Leerstände und stützen die positive Mietentwicklung.
