Politics and Safety: Health Care for Immigrants.
Europe is currently experiencing an unprecedented influx of refugees, asylum seekers and other migrants. More than 1.5 million people arrived in the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) in 2015, fleeing countries affected by war, conflict or economic crisis. Member States are increasingly faced with the need to address the public health consequences of this massive arrival of migrants from various parts of the world, which puts...

Διαχείριση υγρών στη Μαιευτική Αναισθησία
Current evidence suggests that the combination of fluid administration and vasoconstrictive medications should be the main strategy for prevention and management of hypotension accompanying neuraxial anesthesia procedures during cesarean section. Research is still underway in relation to the most appropriate timing for fluid administration, the most appropriate fluid volume as well as the type of fluid that should be administered.

The effect of PEEP on the right ventricle. A transeosophageal echocardiography and tissue Doppler study
The aim of this study was to determine how low and moderate levels of PEEP affect right ventricular structure and function. The study involved 14 patients under mechanical ventilation (pressure controlled). To perform the study, we used transesophageal echocardiography (M-mode, two-dimensional,tissue Doppler) and 10 parameters were recorded. Measurements were performed initially with PEEP 0 cmΗ2Ο, then 10 minutes after applying PEEP 5cmΗ2Ο and 10 minutes after applying PEEP 10cmΗ2Ο.

Διαχείριση προνοσοκομειακών περιστατικών από διασώστες. Πρόδρομη ανάλυση 1010 περιστατικών από τη Βόρεια Ελλάδα.
This is the first study in Greece that aims prehospital care by Emergency Medical Services staff and the factors that affecting it. In a prospective 5 month survey study , 13 EMTs recorded data (45 variables) about 1450 cases;1010 of which were included for further analysis. Six (6%) of the cases were characterized as super-emergencies, 46% non-emergent and 35% as emergent. Fourty five (45%) of the cases were recorded...

Dear colleagues,
In this issue of the Greek e-journal of Perioperative Medicine for 2018 there is a wide coverage of interest in scientific articles.
The review article of Passakiotou M describes the safety and policy concerning the public health consequences of the massive arrival of migrants from various parts of the world, which puts the national health systems under pressure. The article emphasizes in public health interventions and intersectoral and international collaboration in order the arrived migrants and refugees to receive a more systematic health-reception which also will protect the public health of host countries.
The article of Theodoraki K et al describes the current evidence regarding fluid management in obstetric anesthesia. The appropriate timing for fluid administration, the most appropriate fluid volume as well as the type of fluid that should be administered in obstetric anesthesia are some of the issues discussed in this review article.
Next, the clinical study of Margaritis A et al wants to determine how low and moderate levels of PEEP affect right ventricular structure and function. Their results show that after applying ΡΕΕΡ=5cmH2O there is no significant change noted in the overall structure and function of right heart, while after applying ΡΕΕΡ=10cmH2O the changes in the structure and function of right ventricle were caused mainly by the reduction of preload and less by the augmentation of afterload.
Giannopoulos A. et al present the first study in Greece that aims to describe the factors that affecting prehospital care by Emergency Medical Services. In this prospective 5 month survey study, 13 EMTs recorded data (45 variables) about 1450 cases; 1010 of which were included in their analysis.
Final article of Karakosta P et al presents a case report of central venous catheter malposition. In this article there is also a short review of the literature.
The editorial board of the Greek e-journal of Perioperative Medicine would like to emphasize that our goal is ensure free-access, high quality, published medical articles and we would like to thank you again for this continuous support.
Finally we want to wish Merry Christmas and happy a new year to all of you.
