Algorithmus zur Aufnahme und Überwachung von Alkoholisierten im Rahmen der Sanitätsstation auf dem Münchner Oktoberfest

Zusammenfassung

Auf der Sanitätsstation des Münchner Oktoberfestes kommt seit 2010 ein Algorithmus zur Überwachung alkoholisierter Patienten zum Einsatz. Orientiert an ABCDE-Schemen und mit stringenter Überwachung wird somit die Betreuung von rund 18% der behandlungsbedürftigen Patienten sichergestellt. Dadurch ist eine effektive und strukturierte Überwachung gewährleistet, die vorgestellt wird.

Abstract

This article presents an algorithm to treat and manage ethanol intoxications during the Munich “Oktoberfest”, known as one of the biggest carnivals worldwide with approximately 6.5 million visitors consuming 7 million liters of beer and unaccountable other alcoholic beverages. Whereas only 18% of approximately 4000 patients need treatment for ethanol overdosing, relevant comorbidity, a busy outpatient setting and other intoxications demand a structured effort to approach these patients. This algorithm has been used for the past 6 years and could be useful for managing similar settings. It is based on established structured approaches – ABCDE – to the patient and establishes cut-off values for in-patient treatment and invasive measures.
