Background: A marked geographic variability has been reported in stone disease, partially attributed to the Mean Annual Temperature (MAT), as well as to the seasonal fluctuations of climatic conditions. Accordingly, peaks in Emergency Department (ED) visits for renal colic are commonplace during the summer. Materials and methods: The aim of this study was to assess the influence of day-by-day climate changes on the number of visits as a result of renal colic in the ED (City of Parma, northern Italy, temperate continental climate). A total of 10,802 colic episodes were retrieved from the database during a period of 3286 days (January 2002 to December 2010). Results: The analysis of the data …
Pain therapy in acute renal colic
1993
Der extreme Schmerz einer Nierenkolik bedarf einer schnellen, nebenwirkungsarmen und suffizienten Schmerztherapie. Diese geht dem kausalen Therapieansatz, der Beseitigung der Harnwegsobstruktion, voraus. Durch den Einsatz von Prostaglandinsynthesehemmern ist eine direkte Beeinflussung der Pathophysiologie des Kolikschmerzes moglich. Mittel der ersten Wahl sind Metamizol, Indometacin und Diclofenac. Die Substanzen sollten, falls moglich, intravenos appliziert werden. Opiate und Opioide sind Mittel der zweiten Wahl. Auf die Gabe von Spasmolytika kann verzichtet werden.
