The national German hand hygiene campaign is implementing the WHO patient safety initiative "Clean Care is Safer Care". After 6 years over 1400 health care institutions are participating in the campaign on a voluntary basis. The implementation of the multimodal intervention concept including improvement of alcohol based hand rub availability, the introduction of 2 surveillance methods and of the WHO "My 5 Moments of Hand Hygiene Model" in those health care facilities, participating for several years, increased median hand hygiene compliance by 11% and alcohol based hand rub availability by 61%.

Review[Indications, risk factors, specialities and after-care of surgical treatment for cardiac and thoracic vascular diseases].
Despite a known high risk and complexity in the operative therapy of cardio-thoracic patients, cardiac surgery is medical routine activity today. The German Society of Cardiothoracic Surgery regularly analyses the more than 100.000 cases a year in Germany. Fixing procedural statics, it gives us the knowledge of individual risk factors and success rates for surgical therapy of our patients. Following we want to shortly summarize indications, risk factors, specialities and after-care of surgical treatment for cardiac and thoracic vascular diseases in adults.

Review[Vascular cannulation and hemodynamic monitoring for cardiac and thoracic vascular surgery - a review].
Cardiac surgery requires cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with extracorporeal circulation (ECC) for intracardiac procedures. The surgical strategy determines access for monitoring and insertion sites with high-flow cannulas. ⋯ Therefore, the knowledge of the vascular anatomy is essential to provide professional care to patients undergoing ECC during thoracic vascular and cardiac surgery. This article is a review of hemodynamic monitoring and access for ECC in patients for adult cardiac surgery for anaesthesiologists and intensivists.

Review[Coagulation disorders in the context of cardiac surgery - Clinical basics and mechanism based therapy].
Intra- and postoperative bleeding disorders are common in cardiac surgery. The etiology of perioperative coagulopathy frequently becomes apparent as a combination of several acquired and inherited disorders. ⋯ Point-of-care-systems can provide fast bed-sided analysis, which contribute to early diagnosis and intervention. Individual and regularly revised algorithms, adapted to the individualized institutional infrastructure, may facilitate resource-saving treatment of perioperative coagulopathy.

Review[Anaesthesia for extrathoracal vascular surgery - Part 2: anaesthesiological management].
The anaesthesiological management in patients undergoing vascular surgical procedure need an individual approach, because of the high incidence of coexisting diseases with an increased risk of cardiovascular complications. The choice of anaesthesiogical method und perioperative monitoring depends on planned vascular procedures.
