Observational StudyEffects of COVID-19 on a mature citizen first responder system in the German district of Gütersloh: an observational study.
The aim of this study was to examine the impact of COVID-19 on the response rate of community-first-responders (CFR) and other out-of-hospital-cardiac-arrest (OHCA) outcomes using the smartphone-first-responder-system (SFRS) "Mobile Retter." ⋯ "Mobile-Retter" was associated with high response rates, improved outcome in OHCA patients and no COVID-19-infections of CFR during the COVID-19-pandemic and -lockdowns.

Incidence of dreaming during ciprofol anesthesia for painless gastroscopy.
Dreaming is often reported by patients who undergo propofol-based sedation, but there have not been any studies to date focused on the incidence of dreaming and factors associated therewith following the administration of ciprofol anesthesia in patients undergoing painless gastroscopy. The present study was thus developed with the goal of assessing the incidence of dreaming. ⋯ The postoperative dream recall incidence in this study was 27.5% among patients undergoing painless gastroscopy under ciprofol sedation anesthesia.

Short-term effects of small volume saline infusion on acid base equilibrium in critically ill patients.
Short-term acid-base effects of 0.9% saline solution infusion are not well described. Aim of this study was to assess the effects of a fluid challenge with 0.9% saline in critically ill patients according to the Stewart's approach, which allows a precise determination of acid base equilibrium. ⋯ The infusion of 0.9% saline reduced strong ion difference by increasing plasma chloride concentration, with no effect on pH due to concomitant albumin dilution. Saline non-responders, characterized by the ability to excrete the sodium excess, were more likely to suffer the acidifying effects of saline infusion, while renal function did not affect the acid-base response to saline infusion.
