Charité Center for Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine
The Charité Center for Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine , CC 7 for short , consists of the Clinic for Anesthesiology with a focus on surgical intensive care medicine on the Benjamin Franklin campus, the Clinic for Anesthesiology with a focus on operative intensive care medicine on the Virchow-Klinikum campus and the Charité Mitte campus at the Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin.
history
The beginnings of anesthesia in Berlin
The orthopedic surgeon Heimann Wolff Berend (1809–1873) performed the first anesthesia in Berlin on February 6, 1847 at the Gymnastics-Orthopedic Institute in Oranienburger Strasse on a 13-year-old girl for an operation on her knee. On February 12, it was Johann Friedrich Dieffenbach who implanted a nasal plastic forehead skin in a 16-year-old patient under anesthesia at the university clinic in Ziegelstrasse. Johann Friedrich Dieffenbach published the book The Aether Against Pain five months later . It was not until February 15 that Johann Christian Jüngken performed a leg amputation on a 60-year-old patient at the Charité. The ether apparatus used for this purpose was developed by the prosector Rudolf Virchow , who also carried out animal experiments with ether. Curt Schimmelbusch developed a wire device for ether drip anesthesia in 1890. After Ernst Julius Gurlt was commissioned at the German surgeon congress in 1890, he carried out six anesthesia statistics with a total of 300,000 anesthetics analyzed by 1897. Heinrich Adolf von Bardeleben increasingly used premedication with morphine . In 1892, Carl Ludwig Schleich presented infiltration anesthesia at the 21st annual conference of the German Society for Surgery in Berlin. Ferdinand Sauerbruch experienced the first ether explosion in the Charité in 1937 while scabbing a lung with a hot iron. By rejecting endotracheal intubation , he hindered the development of anesthesia in Germany.
The division
In 1950 Willi Felix took over the chair from Ferdinand Sauerbruch. He founded the Charité's first independent anesthesia department in 1958. His senior physician Horst Bertram was given a teaching position for anesthesiology in 1958 and in 1961 took over the management of the central anesthesia department. In 1962 Hans Joachim Serfling took over the ordinariate of the surgical university clinic. His senior physician Manfred Schädlich was given the task of setting up his own department for anesthesiology and intensive therapy, which in 1969 became an independent department in the field of medicine. This made him appointed full professor and head of the first chair for anesthesiology and intensive therapy in the GDR in the field of medicine (Charité) at the Humboldt University in Berlin .
In West Berlin , the surgeons Rudolf Hellenschmied and Paul Mellin established the first anesthesia, supported by Jean Emily Henley . In 1951 Otto Heinrich Just from Heidelberg came to the Westend Clinic at the same time as the surgeon Fritz Linder was appointed and took over the management of anesthesia. Otto Just, Hans Joachim Harder from the Rudolf Virchow Hospital and Lothar Barth from Berlin-Buch were founding members of the German Society for Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (DGAI) in 1953 . In 1962 Otto Just left Berlin and accepted a professorship for anesthesiology from Heidelberg University . After an interim period, during which the anesthesia department was headed by Ulrich Henneberg, Ernst Kolb took over the management of the department at the Westend Clinic at Freie Universität as an associate professor in 1963 and in 1967 became full professor for anesthesiology and director of the Institute for Anesthesiology at the Freie Universität Berlin in the clinic Charlottenburg. In 1969 he was appointed to the newly created chair at the Steglitz Clinic and in 1972 went to the Rechts der Isar Clinic of the Technical University of Munich.
The merging
In 2005 the board published the new corporate concept "Charité 2010" with the restructuring and consolidation of clinics in 17 centers in which all university anesthesiological clinics are merged into Center 7 ( Charité Center for Anesthesiology, Operating Theater Management and Intensive Care Medicine at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin) . The medical center management is Claudia Spies as Ordinaria of the merged clinics of Campus Virchow-Klinikum, Campus Charité Mitte and Campus Benjamin - Franklin in Steglitz, who is also the clinic director.
Focus
With over 80,000 anesthesia per year, this is one of the largest anesthesia centers in Europe. The Capital Congress for Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Therapy (HAI) has taken place every year since 1999. It has been held since 2006 as the second DGAI scientific conference alongside the German Anesthesia Congress (DAC) and was organized by the center until 2011.
