Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Durch den Einsatz von Checkpointinhibitoren sind Intensivmediziner in Zukunft mit einer zunehmenden Inzidenz an potenziell schwerwiegenden immunvermittelten Nebenwirkungen konfrontiert. Durch die vielfältigen Symptome ist die Diagnosestellung gerade für nicht onkologisch tätige Ärzte erschwert.

Fragestellung

Diagnostik und Therapie von immunvermittelten Nebenwirkungen durch Checkpointinhibitoren mit Schwerpunkt auf intensivmedizinisch relevante Verläufe.

Material und Methoden

Literaturrecherche und Zusammenfassung von aktuellen Veröffentlichungen zur Inzidenz, Klinik und Therapie von intensivmedizinisch relevanten Nebenwirkungen unter dem Einsatz von Checkpointinhibitoren.

Ergebnisse

Immunvermittelte Nebenwirkungen durch Checkpointinhibitoren sind schwierig zu diagnostizieren und zeigen verschiedenste Symptome. Schwerwiegende Verläufe können durch eine rechtzeitig eingeleitete Therapie verhindert werden.

Schlussfolgerungen

Die Einleitung einer frühen und standardisierten Therapie entsprechend des Schweregrads der auftretenden Nebenwirkungen kann potenziell tödliche Verläufe verhindern.

Abstract

Background

Due to the use of checkpoint inhibitors, intensive care units will be confronted with an increasing number of patients with immune-related adverse events. A broad spectrum of symptoms and potentially lethal consequences make diagnosis and treatment challenging.

Objectives

Diagnosis and treatment of immune-related adverse events in the treatment with checkpoint inhibitors with a special focus on intensive care units.

Materials and methods

Review of current publications about incidence, symptoms and treatment of adverse events after the use of checkpoint inhibitors relevant for intensive care medicine.

Results

Immune-related adverse events during therapy with checkpoint inhibitors are difficult to diagnose and present with various symptoms. Severe complications can often successfully be treated with early therapy.

Conclusions

The early treatment of immune-related adverse events according to their severity is needed to prevent a potentially life-threatening course.
