[Report on results of an intensive care unit at a district hospital].

The experiences of an internal intensive observation and therapy unit in a district hospital are reported. During 4 years 2,803 patients were admitted. 65% showed life-threatening disturbances of the heart and of the circulation. Arrangement of the rooms, personal staff as well as special diagnostic and therapeutic methods are described.

[Infusion- and microcatheterization technics at an internal medicine intensive care unit].

It is reported on the infusion, stimulation and microcatheter technique in an internal intensive therapy ward. From July 1st 1970 to November 11th 1974 were altogether laid 1,642 superior cavacatheters, 1,057 times by puncture of the subclavian vein and 585 times through the brachial veins. Compared with the usual infusion techniques the advantages of the cava-catheter technique consist in the fact that a constant venous approach is existing and that solutions of a high percentage and medicaments may be infused relatively undangerously. Apart from this the cava-catheter gives the possibility to carry out continuous measurements of the central venous pressure and guarantees the taking of blood samples at any time. The phlebitides or thromboses, respectively, which are regularly appearing in flexules lying longer than 40 hours are avoided in most cases. Taking into consideration the contraindications and the exact performance of the various methods especially early complications such as puncture of the arteries, pneumothorax, detachment of the catheter, extended haematomas and wrong positions of the catheter may be reduced to a minimum. As late complications distinct infections in the place of puncture, unclear, partly septic temperatures and clinically manifest thromboses were observed. In these cases the cava-catheters should be removed. The temporary electrostimulation through electrode catheters plays an important part in the emergency medicine and the mastering of the various methods of the cava-catherization is taken for granted. During the period of report altogether 423 stimulation catheters were laid. The cardiac microcatheterization should be reserved for more special cases.

Coated versus non-Proplast-coated endosseous blade-vent dental implants.

In order to determine the efficacy of applying Proplast to dental endosseous bladevent implants, this material was coated on half of sixteen such implants which were bilaterally placed in the mandibles of eight rhesus monkeys. No difference in the clinical acceptability could be ascertained between the two groups. Histologic examination revealed a loose connective tissue layer around the noncoated implants which was not evident around the coated ones.
