[Diagnosis and first aid in stroke during the prehospital phase].

In the GDR the apoplexy occupies the 4th place in the statistics of causes of death. It is an acute pathological process and has a firm place in emergency medicine (urgent home visit service and urgent medical aid). The symptomatology is multiform and under ambulatory conditions it may lead to considerable differential-diagnostic difficulties. In the present paper references are given taking into consideration the anamnesis (factors of risk), the clinical examination of the patient, first differential-diagnostic aspects, therapeutic methods resulting from this and suitable possibilities of hospitalisation.

[Diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of subarachnoidal hemorrhage from the viewpoint of emergency medicine].

The subarchnoidal haemorrhage is an acute disease which has a high lethality and, therefore, in every case presents an indication for admission into an intensive-therapeutic department. It often occurs in younger age groups and appears more frequently than is assumed in general. Despite impressive clinical symptoms (suddenly beginning stabbing headache, vomiting and disturbances of consciousness of various degree of severity) the picture of the disease is not exactly diagnosed almost in every case. From 1970 to 1974 we treated 105 patients with subarachnoidal haemorrhages. In this paper is referred to the most important clinical and paraclinical parameters. Diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities are discussed.

[Problems of infrequent and often underestimated drug poisonings in emergency medicine].

Intoxication with medicaments which do not belong to the class of sedatives or psychopharmaca are often underestimated and not treated in hospital if they have no influence on the sensorium. In the Central First Aid and Intensive Therapy Department Berlin-Friedrichshain about 400-500 patients with drug intoxications of all kind are treated annually. Out of these on the average 30 intoxications are not conditioned by psychopharmaca, sedatives or analgesics. In these intoxications the drugs in question are above all cardio-active medicaments (glycosides and antiarrhythmics), rauwolfia and ergot alkaloids as well as industry and household chemicals. 3 patients with such intoxications are described concerning their clinical symptomatology, the course and the therapy.

[Poisoning with nitrosifying gas].

Nitrosifying gases are nitrogen-oxygen mixtures which are used in many branches of industry or which develop as a sideproduct. They are toxic already in a relatively slight concentration. It is reported on 12 patients who on account of an accident in a Berlin metal factory fell ill with an acute intoxication by nitrosifying gas. Symptoms, clinical and paraclinical findings are compiled and compared with the cases described in literature. Therapeutic orders are discussed.

[A contribution to acute glutethimide (Elrodorm) intoxication].

Following a short discussion of hitherto known facts about glutethimid intoxications, two own cases are described. In these cases minimal amounts (2.5 and 5 g) caused haemorrhagic diatheses and acute insufficiency of the liver, which in one case were combined with acute renal insufficiency. Possible causes are discussed.
