H.-J. Trappe’s research while affiliated with Ruhr University Bochum and other places

... In addition, the authors were unable to demonstrate a clear reason for the differences in guided ventilation between nurses and paramedics. They suspect that the reason is the greater experience in years among nurses and the more frequent use of supraglottic devices in prehospital care by paramedics [30,31]. In addition, it would be valuable to see if other methods of analyzing ventilation quality such as segmenting ventilation and evaluating each segment will yield different results in meeting the guidelines. ...

... Intubation was started 1 minute after succinylcholine injection, and we then fixed the tracheal tube and turned on the sevoflurane volatilize tank. During the induction period, the patients' dizziness, chest tightness, panic, sleepiness, mean arterial pressure (MAP) fluctuation over 20%, 13 bradycardia (heart rate [HR] 50 beats/minute), 14 and tachycardia 15 (HR !100 beats/minute) were also recorded. ...

... A clinical record of the heart's electrical activity, ECG is usually recorded as an analogue signal [2] and employed in diagnosing cardiopathies. ECG has been used to discover the effect of music on the heart, using measurements of heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) [2] [3]. Responses to music can be both psychological (e.g., subjective perception) and physiological (HRV parameters) [4]- [6]. ...

... Ohne seine bahnbrechenden Arbeiten Anfang des vergangenen Jahrhunderts wären Elektrokardiographie, Rhythmologie und differenzierte Arrhythmietherapie unmöglich geworden, aber die Bedeutung des Elektrokardiogramms geht im 21. Jahrhundert darüber weit hinaus, und das Oberflächen-EKG ist heute eine unverzichtbare Methode zur Diagnostik und Lokalisation von Myokardinfarkten, zur Beurteilung von links-und/oder rechtsventrikulärer Hypertrophie und hat auch bei speziellen kardiologischen Krankheitsbildern große Bedeutung [4]. Seit den Arbeiten von Einthoven haben sich viele Kardiologen mit dem Oberflächen-Elektrokardiogramm beschäftigt, das heute nicht nur zur Arrhythmiediagnos-tik herangezogen werden kann, sondern auch bei der Lokalisationsdiagnostik von Koronararterienstenosen bzw. ...

After selection of studies with relevancy and eligibility, 13 studies were identified for analysis, including 10 case reports (McAuley, 1964;Williamson et al., 2004;Varon and Marik, 2006;Batra and Paddle, 2009;Guenther et al., 2009;Mizobuchi et al., 2010;de Pont et al., 2011;Rudolph and Barnung, 2011;Prull et al., 2012;Aronovich et al., 2014), 1 case in a letter to the editor (Truhlar et al., 2010), and 2 retrospective case series (Baldursdottir et al., 2010;Choi et al., 2012). ...

... A recently published short report showed in 51 recent-onset AF patients without structural heart diseases that AF conversion to sinus rhythm is faster and the length of hospital stay is shorter with vernakalant than with flecainide or propafenone. 54 Although vernakalant is more expensive than amiodarone and flecainide, 55 this reduction in length of hospital stay should reduce patient costs. In addition, rapid conversion to sinus rhythm may prevent or reverse development of the atrial electrical and structural remodeling associated with AF, potentially reducing disease progression and likelihood of stroke; however, no data are yet available on the long-term effects of vernakalant. ...

... In a similar approach, extending beyond the original 'voluntary and competent consent' criteria of AVE, pioneered under the Netherlands, attempts to 'export' the Dutch experience led to a plethora of euthanasia deviations. Euthanasia can be divided into either active (conscious) or passive actions (unconscious), of which there is no clear definition of passive euthanasia, with a general understanding that it involves the withdrawal of life sustaining treatment such as a respirator or feeding tubes (Trappe 2017). Whereas, euthanasia sub-variants being voluntary (explicit consent) active euthanasia, involuntary (non-consensual) active euthanasia, non-voluntary (unable to attain consent) active euthanasia, voluntary passive (consensual unconscious) euthanasia or involuntary passive (non-consensual unconscious) euthanasia as well as physician assisted suicide which entails self-administered medication by the patient under a physician's guidance (Materstvedt et al. 2003). ...
