[Intensive care research in Germany--an analysis of papers in important international journals].
The present study was designed to assess who is responsible for publications in important english-written intensive care journals. ⋯ Only few German universities have published in important intensive care journals over the past 10 years. Some interne medicine and some anesthesia departments were markedly engaged in this speciality, whereas several other universities and most universities from former East Germany did not participate significantly in the international intensive care literature.

Meta Analysis[Meta-analysis of controlled randomized studies on droperidol for prevention of postoperative phase vomiting and nausea].
Randomised, controlled trials using prophylactic droperidol to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) were included in a meta-analysis to estimate efficiency and dose-response of treatment. ⋯ Droperidol is an effective antiemetic drug. The drug can be administered to patients with an increased risk of suffering from PONV without antiemetic prophylaxis. Since a positive dose response is lacking, droperidol should only be administered in doses of 1 mg or less.
